Bug#499546: PTS: shouldn't suggest packaging new upstream release when it is waiting in NEW
retitle 499546 PTS: shouldn't suggest packaging new upstream release when it is waiting in NEW

I agree with the original bug report that it's a bug in PTS. DEHS contains
uscan results. An uscan result may be that a version in unstable is older than
upstream. There are multiple consumers of this information. DDPO simply
displays this information. Whether or not there is already a newer package in
NEW does not make displaying the information wrong. PTS does not simply
display this information, but presents it as a TODO, with the text "you should
consider packaging it". When there is already a package in NEW then PTS
presenting the TODO is wrong. So it's not a bug in DEHS but in PTS.
A recent example is the package givaro.
