Yes, Alex posted a mail which I cc'ed to him.
I was asking Jochen Friedrich some suggestions and he told me how to
remove postgis from NEW queue.
I removed postgis to eliminate problems that could arise for the package
renaming and to prevent that package maintainers put dependencies on it.
Package postgis was stuck in NEW queue probably because the upcoming
sarge is to be released, I'm not aware of any other reason.

We think that packages are ready, and asked for submission as soon as
possible.
Actually we are trying to provide a smooth upgrade from previous
version, as there are incompatibilities with data and loaders.
