And average is not a guarantee, there are plenty who have been waiting
for months:
  https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

The last ones that I recall, a bunch of libsdl2 modules a few months
ago, it took 2 months.

Even if they are processed quickly today, the queue can start to grow
dramatically again, going from a week to two or three months (it
happend like that at the beginning of 2013, or the year before).
There are continuous spikes, see "NEW package count for the last 5
years".

But other than that... is a solution to go from 3.2.0~rc to 3.2.1~rc,
and will we not face the same problems?  I don't think so, specially
because after these many months, it's almost sure that there's
breakage when 3.2.1 becomes final.

If patches exist can be NMUed, assuming that the patches work.  If the
packages are unmaintained... well, they are unmaintained, somebody
will step up or they wil be removed.

If somebody can test the current source code from Debian applying this
patch to confirm that it's working with the programs having problems,
it would be great.
