I've noticed that for DELAYED/XX uploads, the lintian rejects are
triggered not when the package hits DELAYED/XX, but rather when the
package eventually hits the archive. The annoyance of this is that the
uploader losts "focus" on the specific fix.
Any chance/plan to fix this so that lintian rejects are checked at
DELAYED entrance time? (sorry if it has been asked before, I didn't find
it with a quick in the thread)
If for some architectural reasons this is hard / not worth to fix, I
guess we can alternatively add a corresponding check to dput, which
refuses to upload when it finds non-overridden fatal lintian errors
(unless --forced or something).
TIA,
Cheers.
