So if a particularly outdated version is in sarge, and you have just uploaded a version whose functionality you are confident of, upload it with urgency medium or high so it gets into testing within 5 or 2 days respectively. Same reasoning if you have just fixed a particularly nasty bug. Of course, urgency != low should be used sparingly to allow the unstable users to test the new packages and to not throw off the whole transition- to-sarge system. -- Joshua Kwan
