But it's not in the overrides file yet... it's a completely new package,
that was the point of this... if it wasn't new, the section in the debs
wouldn't matter much, but for new packages, the section information in the
new package would be valuable for the ftp maintainers that add it to the
override, I think... and I didn't want them to add it to the wrong section
first and then force them to change it later... would uploading a new
version be sensible for complete new packages that has never before been
in debian (except for incoming, obviously)?
