Yes, but the ftp-masters know how to handle this right, and will accept all
three, and the two first will just vanish.

Indeed. I uploaded the .udebs for d-i which are based on those, and which
didn't need NEW. As joeyh and vorlon mentioned, these .udebs are now in
unstable, but not the accompanying source they are built upon, which is a
violation of the GPL as long as 2.4.27-3 remains in NEW, i think. Not all that
important, but i hope that we can sort this technically in the future.
