For proposed-updates is a new queue-handling in place [1]. This means
that all packages which get uploaded to security.debian.org get into
this new proposed-update queue, before they get accepted into the real
proposed-update queue. For dak packages in the new proposed-update queue
are just as _not being uploaded at all_ before they are accepted by the
stable release team members.
cgiirc was a special case as version in sid and version in sarge were
the same. Packages from security.d.o still get synced to ftpmaster.d.o,
but into the new proposed-queue, which needs interaction by the stable
release managers.
We are aware of this, and it should be solved (hopefully) by the next
dinstall run.
