It'll pause whilst I add a few more checks to the process.

It would have been helpful to list some of those. I've found one out of
the bugs submitted against the packages you mention.

I do try and avoid that by constantly updating the source data prior to
each phase, but as you describe, some lag is inevitable.

I've been updating the process at this end and I'll be able to add the
version information for the next runs. However, the original data does
not include a version so the only version number available is what can
be retrieved from either an apt-cache on sid or rmadison. That
therefore suffers from the same timing problems as the other issues
you've described.

Some duplicates come from the Ubuntu changes and those have usertags,
so I'll add that check to the processing. I missed that, so apologies
on that score.

That led to #621246 being missed and #620742 being added.

> cu and- closing three invalid reports in ggz-* -dreas

The three bugs I reported against ggz* yesterday were #621246, #621277
and #621339. The other two are not duplicates but have had recent
uploads which might not have got into the source data. Certainly for
#621246, the upload which is currently 1 day old in sid has the dependency_libs emptied. I don't think there's any way that the process can reliably catch uploads that new but thanks for fixing that package.

I'll add the version available on the mirrors at the time of processing,
albeit that the version may not be the very latest version uploaded.
