This remark almost forces one to think of another system: keep the
current release system, but put a small layer between Incoming and
unstable, where recently uploaded package are. Only when nobody
complains about those within a certain timelimit (2 weeks? a couple of
days might not reach all mirrors) will they be moved into unstable.
Basically a sort of public Incoming with a Packages file for dselect and
apt.
