Being current on all architectures the package has previously been built for is a requirement for getting updates into testing. I think there is also a question of whether the mips/mipsel binaries now in unstable are usable; this is at least the case for mozilla and (IIRC) mozilla-firefox. FWIW, there are now current thunderbird packages on mips, and the package is building on m68k. The best strategy for getting an update into sarge is to avoid gratuitous re-uploads of the package. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
