Will Mono enter testing before Sarge is released?

[Sam Morris <sam@robots.org.uk>]

Bjorn's transition script has the following to say:

 * mono has no old version in testing (trying to add, not update)
 * mono is not yet built on alpha: 1.0.1-1 vs 1.0.2-1
 * mono is not yet built on arm: 1.0.1-1 vs 1.0.2-1
 * mono is not yet built on i386: 1.0-3 vs 1.0.2-1
 * mono is not yet built on powerpc: 1.0-3 vs 1.0.2-1
 * mono is not yet built on sparc: 1.0.1-1 vs 1.0.2-1
 * mono is waiting for mcs
   o mcs is not yet built on s390: 0.30.2-1 vs 1.0.2-1
   o mcs is waiting for libgdiplus, mono
     + libgdiplus has release-critical bugs

From looking at buildd.debian.org, it looks like the alpha, arm and 
sparc builds should not be happening because they are not in the 
architectures list for mono; the powerpc build looks like it has 
actually succeeded; and there are no records of an i386 build taking 
place, although the latest version is present in Sid on i386...

The "Mono for Debian" web site hasn't been updated since July, and 
there's not much activity on the pkg-mono-devel mailing list. Is 
everybody away/sleeping? :)

The RC bug on libgdiplus[0] says that libgdiplus will be able to enter 
Sarge after #272846 has been fixed, which happened back in October, so 
assuming that the libgdiplus bug is all but recorded as fixed, am I 
correct in assuming the real blocker here is the failed build of mcs on 
s390[1]?
