Package: ftp.debian.org

I see that diffutils_1:3.2-6, which was uploaded with urgency=low,
will only need 5 days to enter testing, probably because I made
1:3.2-4 to be urgency=medium. I don't know when you changed the
algorithm but I think it is a bad change.

In this case, the reason to modify the urgency was that 1:3.2-4 just
tried to disable a test which failed, while 1:3.2-6 has real code
changes which IMHO, deserve the usual 10 days in unstable.

The traditional meaning of "urgency" has always been "the time
required for *this* upload to supersede the version currently in
testing" and that's why I used urgency=low in 1:3.2-6.

However, if urgencies accumulate, how are we supposed to really mean
"10 days" after an upload not of low priority? It's impossible!


So please reconsider the way urgencies are handled. The traditional
way worked well enough and the current behaviour is a lot confusing.

Thanks.
