The "mini" would refer to the breadth of the freeze (in number of packages covered), not its depth, so ideally you would avoid any uploads that could potentially delay the progression of all the packages into testing. That means that if there are 9 days left, and your package has a wait time of 10 days and currently has no outstanding RC bugs, you would not want to do *any* uploads, bug fixes or not. Indeed, if you don't have any RC bugs in your packages right now, the safest strategy is to not upload at all until they make it into testing, to avoid angering your fellow maintainers. ;) -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
