the number of delayed days are documented here:

It does make sense as we have two types of dependencies in Debian: build
dependencies and runtime dependencies. A header package is also a binary
package so it has runtime dependencies like all other binary packages do.
But indeed the term "runtime dependency" is not very widely used. I do not
think that Debian policy uses it. I think the term is mostly used by people
like me who work on dependency resolution software.

I'm afraid it was already uploaded and is now in unstable. :(

It was HTML but it also had a text/plain part. :)
Thanks!
