What is really "small" in this context? Yeah, this is not precisly definded. However for ~1/2MB, I would say it is worth the trouble. As it can become arch:all, the deduplication is siginifanct.

"confused" Probably someone has broken mentors… Put your changes on your repo, I can pull from there. (in this case there is no new orig.tar.gz, so the dangers of /me uploading something wrong is limited) Or send me a patch against the version I've reviewed… (choices, I know) > > And now, what?

DS I understand your worries… Some remarks for relief your worries: - NEW is usually fast for existing source packages only adding/dropping packages. (yes, NEW-as-in-ITP sometimes (often) takes i$%§$§%$§ long*…) - we would utilize the strategy to upload this package to experimental, where it would wait to clear NEW. This won't affect unstable and you'd be able to upload to unstable without the new binary package without problems. Once it has cleared NEW you'd (merge and) upload it to unstable (* Debian is all about "When it's ready.", IOW patience required. Yes, its sometimes quite challening, but one mostly has to accept it or look how to drive things. With FTP/NEW such a strategy would be becoming DD, getting even more involved, joining the FTP masters team…)
