On a related note, I plotted (part of) the data[1] we got on debian-rules-missing-recommended-target tag[2]. The huge increase of affected packages in the start can most likely be attributed to this full-run[3]. The second "spike" (around 11/12/01) could be due to reporting now handling multiple versions of the same source packages, but I did not confirm this guess. ~Niels [1] http://people.debian.org/~nthykier/rg-build-arch-target/affected-packages-graphs.png Using timestamp as x and package count (last column) as y axis.
