I have just read this bug report (which affects a situation I care about) and I don't quite understand. Adam writes:britney knows nothing about changelogs. The input is a strictly chronological (in terms of when dak accepted the package) list of source package name, version and urgency tuples for all uploads to the main archive.What I don't understand is why it is not correct for britney to use the urgency of the actual version it is considering migrating, rather than some other version.
If you upload 1.0-2 containing an RC bug fix, so with "Urgency: high" and then, before 1.0-2 has migrated, upload 1.0-3 with default urgency, what should happen?
Currently the result is that the "high" from 1.0-2 is used, and 1.0-3 (including the RC bug fix) migrates two days later. If only 1.0-3's urgency is considered, the package spends at least another five days in unstable before the RC fix reaches testing.
