Sure.
This sounds to me like it should be a Debian wide policy. If this is a
problem, why are uploads to unstable that need to go through NEW even
allowed in the first place?
Because most uploads to unstable that require NEW processing don't depend on packages that aren't in the archive yet.
Let's please not ask ftp-master to implement a policy to reject or delay packages that have such missing dependencies. I'm concerned that would delay NEW processing even more.
