Hmmm. 'apt-get upgrade' this morning seems to have fixed it
all -- so it would seem that the autobuilders got caught up.
It would sure be nice to fix the underlying problem, though --
perhaps, as I think someone already suggested, by having a gate
in the process so that the archives are not updated until all
of the binary packages from a single source package have rebuilt.
I'd offer to help (if I can find the time), but I have no clue
how the autobuilders work and am not even sure where to start...
