This is not true.

wouter@merkel:/org/ftp.debian.org/queue/done$ ls *ges|wc -l
28969

These are only the *active* changes files, though:

wouter@merkel:/org/ftp.debian.org/queue/done$ find . -name 'nbd*ges'|wc -l
898

... since no .changes file is ever thrown away:

wouter@merkel:/org/ftp.debian.org/queue/done$ du -sh .
7.1G

They may not be visible on the mirrors, but they are there.
