non-free packages are not normally autobuilt by the buildd network, but require manual authorization in order to be picked up by buildds. This can lead to the presence of outdated binaries for some architectures, preventing migration to testing and domination of old sources. We recently introduced the detection of outdated packages built on top of non-free sources in the cruft-report [0]. A source package will be given 15 days to build its binaries; after that deadline, outdated binaries will be detected by cruft-report, and will eventually be removed from the archive. If you want to support a specific architecture, please upload fresh binaries on your own. You may also want to enable autobuilding by following the instructions listed at [1] [0] http://ftp-master.debian.org/cruft-report-daily.txt [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#non-free-buildd -- Luca Falavigna on behalf of the FTP Team
