This is not the only one. Taking days to build some packages also leads to
shlibs-skew and problems with testing migration. Both which only affect
tier-1 arches but not those in tier-2.

There is a fundamental problem: There are people (me included) who believe
that a week delay for a security update is not acceptable.

Please cite where this was proposed. I read the original Nybbles mail (and a
part of the current thread) but couldn't find the "at all" bit.
