Do you mean architectures by platforms? It requires that the build-dependencies only specify lower bounds (>=) and that the -doc packges don’t have a versioned dependency on ghc6-doc. The autobuilders can be told to do binNMUs via d-release, and this happens sufficiently quick. Kaol did it after the 6.10.3 release for a subset of haskell packages: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/05/msg00157.html and I used it to make xmonad installable after an utf8-string upgrade, without any other action to do but this mail: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/06/msg00267.html Ideally, in a team, the uploader of the package (utf8-string in this example) will check the reverse dependencies and scheduele binNMUs directly, possibly with the help of a nice script. If I unstand it correctly, this is pretty close to the Ocaml guy’s approach, which supposedly works nicely.
