How much time do you think would be appropriate?  I have sent out
messages to sourcepackage@packages.debian.org today (though I haven't
yet seen the one for the packages I subscribe to, so I wonder whether
I did something wrong; I'm still looking into this).  Given this, do
you think four days is sufficient waiting time, or should I wait
through a weekend?  I'm presuming that the packages will be uploaded
on Monday.
