and uplaod all the 40MB source of it to every debian mirror ??? like the corel
guys did some time ago ?
no if we go ahead with the staging-area idea, we could also need a system for
having more than one developper per package, or one developper for unstable and
oine for stable, or something like that.
and what about the bugs for package witrh other archs than the one the official
maintainer uses ?
Some packages like X is to big for one guy alone, ... at least i think so.

No i don't want to use X, it's just, i wanted to do recompile an X package and
since the official one was incompilable under ppc arch, and i just compiled X
3331 without problem from the upstream source, i did the package, and wanted to
put them somewhere.
potato was the logical place for that, it is made for this kind of stuff ...
