Don't wait, just upload them all.
FTP masters do check for dependencies, and wont approve a package for
which the dependencies aren't in Sid already (meaning: they *will*
process packages from the NEW queue in the correct order). So you don't
need to worry about this.
If you have a complex set of dependencies though, it's probably a good
idea to drop a few lines to the FTP masters, just to let them know.
