ftp-master has been a restricted machine since a couple of months ago.
You won't have an account unless you have a special reason for one (in
which case you'll know about it), no.

Correct.

Tollef Fog Heen opened a delayed queue on gluck a little while ago. My
.dupload.conf rune for this reads as follows:

  if (exists $ENV{DEB_NMU_DELAY}) {
      $delayed = "/DELAYED/$ENV{DEB_NMU_DELAY}-day";
  }
  
  # Tollef Fog Heen's DELAYED queue
  $cfg{'tfheen-delayed'} = {
      fqdn => "gluck.debian.org",
      login => $ENV{DEBUSER} || getlogin() || $ENV{USER} || $ENV{LOGNAME},
      incoming => "~tfheen$delayed",
      dinstall_runs => 1,
      method => "scpb",
  };

I then do 'DEB_NMU_DELAY=7 dupload --to tfheen-delayed foo.changes'.

Cheers,
