but often it is out of hiw hand.

BTW, do you know if uploading a package to testing-update will be
considered by the testing scripts if the unstable version is a new
version and/or too buggy and such ? This would be a neat way to
rebuilding a testing package which is holding back huge amount of other
packages and just needs a rebuild, but the unstable version is not
considered for this, since it depends on a huge amount of other (broken)
packages.
