Are these rules and conditions and branching instructions, for when and what to upload with a package release, explicitly and clearly laid out, in an obvious place (not a paragraph addressing a single release in a mailing list discussion) for any Debian developer to find?
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#uploading-a-packageI know h01ger loves contributions to dev-ref [1], so if this needs to be improved, feel free to commit or provide patches: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/developers-reference
If not, it seems these confusions and delays and blocked migrations are far more likely to continue indefinitely.
Sure. But given that the policy is now 5 years in place, and I only do around one NMU for cases like this one per month, it seems like most people manage. I'd like the ftp-masters to manage their configuration to enable throw away binaries, but until then, the current situation is what we have. We're *not* going back to allow uploader built binaries in testing.
