But we still get good coverage of each set of changes distriuted amoung our users even if most of them update only weekly. I expect this would stay the same if dinstall ran more often. > There are really very few concrete benefits I can see to increasing the > dinstall frequency Besides d-i, the one case that I'm pretty sure of is the one where a maintainer uploads a buggy package and finds out during that same wake-cycle that it's broken. So instead of sitting on #debian-devel playing tetrinet all evening while his package waits to break things the next day (when he'll be off on vacation), he's able to fix it right then. We've potentially wrung more work out of this volenteer, without really bothering him at all, and spread across the project as a whole I do think that would speed up the overall pace of development. -- see shy jo
