And the discussion comes full circle. :(

I would have uploaded that yesterday.  I do it in batches by day.
Where it goes after that, who knows? (Actually, I do know, it ends up in
"rejected", but there's no way in hell when I'm uploading as many as 100
packages a day I can track down each one follow through with warly to
get them manually fixed).

Now I could do like alpha does and just keep uploading the thing forever
if it doesn't show up in the Paris repository, but that seems a little
foolish too, since if it was rejected the first time, odds are it will
continue to be rejected.
