package: ftp.debian.org

Hi,

this bug is for tracking this drama. Please don't close it, maybe reassign it 
to a more fitting package. (And as a last ressort, assign it to "general" 
please.)

Since some time (=years) there is broad agreement that we shouldn't do this - 
where "this" is pushing binaries build on some random developers random 
machine into the archive, yet we still do it and don't even have a clear idea 
what the status and plan is to fix this. 

I've had a discussion about this with some buildd admins and ftpmasters a few 
months ago, so if the current status does not "magically appear" in this bug 
report, I will dig that up and update the report... for now I hope for 
magic^wyour update.


cheers,
        Holger

P.S.: yes, for bootstraping an architecture it might occasionally be useful to 
be able to upload whatever .debs - but that's clearly an exception and should 
be handled as such.
