ok, but this packages comes from NEW.
So it would be nice if the process NEW -> unstable could be a source upload.
Ir is not possible to upload without the binary in New.
This processus necessitate two uploads if I understand correctly.
Yeah, that is the present situation, the FTP team insist that uploads to NEW
come with binaries so they can inspect them before approving the upload and
there is currently no mechanism to prevent those binaries from going on to
enter the archive. So the only way round this is to upload twice, once to get
through new and then a second time to get through testing migration.
I agree this situation is suboptimal, but afaict there is nothing us regular
DDs can do about it, if we want to get packages into releases, we have to play
by the FTP teams and the release teams rules :/
