According to update_excuses [1] "a package is frozen" currently means that
the 2/5/10 days delay until a package may enter testing is doubled but new
upstream versions are still allowed to enter testing, e.g. (the only
reason why the new upstream version of modutils isn't already in testing
is a RC bug):
<-- snip -->
...
* base-config (1.33.7 to 1.33.9)
+ Maintainer: Joey Hess
+ Package is in freeze, doubling delay
+ Too young, only 7 of 20 days old
...
* bash (2.05a-3 to 2.05a-4)
+ Maintainer: Matthias Klose
+ Package is in freeze, doubling delay
+ Too young, only 2 of 4 days old
...
* modutils (2.4.11-1 to 2.4.12-1)
+ Maintainer: Wichert Akkerman
+ Package is in freeze, doubling delay
+ 11 days old (needed 10 days)
