How about a buildd setup where each package that does not build-depend on an
unstable package is automatically recompiled against testing and then put
into incoming? This would make sure fixed uploads can go into testing and
will not depend on a new library that does not make it into testing. On the
other hand it would enable developers to use unstable if they want.
As a matter of fact I had someone telling me he's offering a machine as a
buildd on i386 for exactly this purpose. If others find this idea useful I'm
willing to talk to him again.
