That's not only about reverse deps. Say eg someone finds something RC
buggy in the 0.10.2 package currently in unstable and testing. Now you've
got a fix which should reach testing sometime in the future. If you've already
0.11.1 in unstable you can't upload a 0.10.2-2 package to unstable so this
has to go through t-p-u. This in turn has the disadvantage that it won't be
exposed to all unstable users which in turn can not check on a broader scale
that your -2 upload is indeed working.
The opinion on this topic might vary but I for one prefer it to stick with
the principal to keep the usual way of migration through unstable instead of
t-p-u.
Cheers,
Sven
