Packages having trivial changes only (e.g. l10n) are probably safe to
upload. In case of a need for an emergency upload, the extra diff from
testing should not get in the way, and the uploader should be able to
work on fixing the things which warranted the upload instead of having
to worry about the extra changes that happened inbetween.

I think I mentioned somewhere (in the BTS probably) no upload was needed
(minor bug). That doesn't forbid an upload though.

I'd say talk to f-k guys before touching that one; I fully trust their
judgment and (pretend I) don't know anything about it.


Hope that answers your questions, even if I feel that's really a grey
area, where setting up definitive guidelines is slightly hard. Since
image building should be hours away now, delaying an upload by a day or
two if you're in doubt should be the safest bet.
