A patch to lisa[1] that makes it order the 'new binaries' packages above
the 'full new sources' would, I think, be appreciated.
I know it might be hard to test the patch, but SELECT queries on the
database work on merkel, so partially testing at least the 'does it
indeed detect correctly whether the source is NEW or not' should be
possible. Or you can install dak[2] and really try it out yourself.
