stable-compare uses packages files generated by dak in order to determine which packages are currently in stable-new and p-u. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the stable-new files are generated more regularly than the p-u files, after an upload is accepted from stable-new to p-u, there is a (sometimes long) period of time between the upload being added to p-u and the script noticing this fact, leading to misleading output. A more accurate view could be generated either by using direct database access to determine the contents of p-u, or generate a packages file based on the database and use that as input.
