Per the Kiel meeting, we established that dd's would need to control the
archive and machines.
Since our lenny will never be part of debian. I don't see a risk to the
archive, so long as his uploads are restricted to lenny.
What we risk in this manner is arguing that our lenny packages should be
considered untainted when it comes to re-including m68k in Debian. That's only
going to be a problem if we succeed in catching up while lenny packages are
still potentially useful.
(It's also a problem if we are not barred from re-releasing by other rules
anyway - think availability of HW, fewer than x buildds, whatever ftpmaster
comes up with. We've been there.)
If you see a chance of reapplying during the next release cycle, we would need
to have all lenny uploads signed by one of us. Can this be handled in a similar
manner like uploads by people still in the new maintainer process?
OTOH, I'm complicating things without need here. We'll burn that bridge when we
get there.
Michael
