Only with the cooperation of the maintainers, of course.

Not problematic TTBOMK, it's built cleanly everywhere and I've bumped the
urgency of the package. (Having to bump urgency on a new upstream version
of gimp is in a sense its own problem, but this needn't be a blocker for
poppler in any case.)

No, the real problem with luatex is:
$ grep-excuses luatex
luatex (0.11.2-1 to 0.20.1-1)
Maintainer: Debian TeX Maintainers
Too young, only 9 of 10 days old
out of date on arm: luatex (from 0.15-1)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The package fails to build with a screwy, arch-specific build failure on
arm. (As in, the failing code is arm specific.) Needs investigation.

It is built, the build is not uploaded. abiword seems to have some
excessively large log files that get stuck in mail systems, so I've pinged
the buildd maintainer about this one (in addition to forcing the package in
britney).

There should be at least one, since luatex has an as-yet-unfiled RC bug in
unstable.
