Say you have a dependency bug on m68k. That looks like a trivial fix,
add the depends and rebuild so you select high.
Now the package takes 3 days to build and enters sarge the same day. 0
day testing period if you actually fixed the bug or not for an arch
you haven't tested. Doesn't feel right.
Just some thoughts.
