I have seen several packages that were uploaded around a month ago that haven't been built yet on various archs. libtheora on alpha, and jasper on mipsel are two examples I know about. I finally had someone build jasper on mipsel a couple days ago so that it wouldn't keep holding up kdelibs. alpha isn't actually holding up libtheora because it has never built on alpha before, but I wouldn't be surprised to see other packages being held up for similar timespans. The overall installed stats on the archs are still in a downward trend. http://www.buildd.net/buildd/Installed_stats.png It's a shame one of the few ports that is doing a good job keeping up isn't going to be released with Sarge.
