Yeah, but I'm not certain there is a rule like that: it makes uploading
a set of packages with circular dependencies impossible, for example, so
I don't think a rule like that could ever be enforced fully. It also
make it really challenging to get packages with a sequence of
dependencies into Debian -- I had some example like this:
...
golang-*
sigstore-go
cosign
gitsign
gittuf
I just uploaded all of them to NEW queue because waiting say 2 months
for each would take a year to get 'gittuf' into Debian, which I don't
think is reasonable.
However, for dependencies like this situation, I think it is fine to
make things easier for ftp-master and wait with the 'ntfy' upload until
the golang-*-when upload has been accepted.
