But:

- if they come into incoming the same day, the 1st one wins

- binary NMUs should AFAIU only occur when there's some
important-enough problem for 1.0-2 on a given arch, right ?  Then
there is an arch-specific problem, and we can mandate that binary-only
NMUs are only to be done to fix an arch-specific RC bugreport, which
would then have prevented the attempt to promote into pre-testing.

So I'm not sure it's really a problem.
