Hi,

how can you find out the position in the queue?

My package yorick has already spent 32 days in testing: http:// 
qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=yorick

If I understand the information in http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ 
wanna-build-states.html , the sole fact that it's name starts with a  
"y" means it has little chance of ever being built if the arch goes  
on lagging behind:
