Is there a reason why britney doesn't just use the default uploadpriority for "new" packages, and not even try to caluclate the highestof all uploads in this case? I understand that's the same net result as the current algorithm (which is to calculate the highest priority, and then ignore it)
It doesn't give /quite/ the same result. If the highest urgency found is "low" then the package takes 10 days to migrate, rather than 5. AFAIR, that was intentional when the recent changes were introduced.
