When I say "this architecture has a backlog", I mean "this architecture can't keep up with building". You can get the logs, they're at http://buildd.debian.org/ -- mails to package maintainers are superfluous; non-buildd people shouldn't be bothered with such stuff, as it isn't their problem in 99% of the cases. > BTW, i think that the correct workflow would be: > Move package from incoming to autobuild.

So we slow the system down even more by holding packages for no real reason?
