is that from personal experience?
I just wanted to mention an argument from a different perspective. As with
every team, there are different ways of working. So depending on the
person really working on a package, uploading version -2 might be good or
bad.
debdiff between the two would quickly show what was changed/fixed thus
possibly addressing already enlisted concerns which trainee would need
to deal upon resubmission anyways, thus imho the situation would
be a win-win
Did you have a look at dak[1]? From my point of view debdiff is not part
of the normal workflow. Anyway, you are right that debdiff between two
packages of the same version is manageable. But if you also upload a new
version, the diff might be too lengthy ...
mne is so early in the queue that it is doubtful anyone is looking at it
atm anyways
According to [2] packages in new are handled bursty, so the queue might be
empty soon :-).
