... They are still in the NEW queue :

luther@auric:/debian/queue/new$ ls kernel-patch-2.4.22-powerpc*
kernel-patch-2.4.22-powerpc_2.4.22-1.dsc
kernel-patch-2.4.22-powerpc_2.4.22-1.tar.gz
kernel-patch-2.4.22-powerpc_2.4.22-1_all.deb
kernel-patch-2.4.22-powerpc_2.4.22-1_powerpc.changes
kernel-patch-2.4.22-powerpc_2.4.22-1_powerpc.katie

I find this utterly stupid of the new checking to have to wait alsways
if there is a new version of a library or a kernel. Especially for the
kernel, you have to wait two times, one for the kernel-source tree to
enter the archive, and a second for the real package.

BTW, did you check if the last libparted i gave to you also broke binary
compatibility, i don't think so, but i need to look at it if not.
