Well you start by giving them a chance, i.e. upload it to experimental, ask them to test & build it. If they haven't bothered to do anything after a sufficient period of time, then, fine, it'll be their fault sarge is stalling and not yours. On the other hand if you upload it straight to unstable knowing from the start that it's broken on several release candidate architectures, then it's your fault. -- James
