I don't understand completely. At this moment gcc-4.7-source is available in testing. Does the upload queue nevertheless already know that gcc-4.7-source is going to be removed? > It is OK to upload to unstable as a stop-gap measure, though.

Why would the package go through the NEW queue? There is still an old ghdl package in unstable. I'm probably asking beginners questions. The system of uploading Debian packages is completely new to me, so I will have to learn some things. I do understand the inside of Debian source packages though, and I'm aware of the policy that covers it. But uploading is another matter. > So, please do not wait for the package to hit testing before you > upload an update that uses gcc-4.8-source; this is the official > target for Jessie. Ok, in that case I will just wait until upstream feels confident that the GCC 4.8 transition is done. Thanks for your help, Joris.
