Excuse me, if packages don't work because of administrative issues in the Debian archive, why should a package maintainer be held responsible for problems he is powerless to resolve? The real fix is for dinstall to scan dependencies of packages in incoming, and to not install them if their dependencies can't be met within the archive.

If you're not a Debian developer, you don't. Stuff in incoming hasn't had its GPG signatures checked, and could potentially be malicious trojans. Perhaps you're not properly equipped to be running the UNSTABLE version of Debian. -- G.
