On a related note, I plotted (part of) the data[1] we got on
debian-rules-missing-recommended-target tag[2]. The huge increase of
affected
packages in the start can most likely be attributed to this full-run[3].
The second "spike" (around 11/12/01) could be due to reporting now
handling multiple versions of the same source packages, but I did not
confirm this guess.
