Once it's cleaned up.  Let me repeat.  ONCE IT'S CLEANED UP.

There are two delays.  One is the delay waiting for it to be cleaned
up.  The other is the delay waiting for the package to be rebuilt.

I'm talking about the *second* delay.

ONCE IT'S CLEANED UP, what should I do to get the package rebuilt?
Seems to me, I should requeue it.  Nothing else is an advertised or
reliable way.  Even the <arch>@buildd.debian.org I'm now told is not
reliable.
