[ Executive summary for the added Cc: Barry gets notifications of fixed
bugs, but that is not enough to know if the bug fix is *in the
archive* already. Knowing the latter would help him in his derivative
workflow. Original thread is at

Here at DebConf11 I'm aware that Enrico Zini (Cc:-ed) has worked on
setting up RSS-based notifications of what gets in the archive. I'm not
sure the timing of that is good enough for you, but it seems worth
having a look. Enrico, do you mind pointing us to the stuff you
developed?
TIA,
Cheers.
