How long is "ages" for you?

The tracker is not responsible of detecting the new upstream releases.
It just uses information provided by UDD (Ultimate Debian Database).
But with >30000 source packages to monitor, we're not able to verify new
releases each hour. It's a process that is spread over a longer period...
I'm ccing the UDD maintainer so that he can decide whether there's
something to be made here.
Cheers,
