If I have package A with version 1-1 that gets a fix in version 1-2, than I can add:dw B . amd64 . bullseye . -m "A (>=1-2)"
Mind you, src:B, bin:A.
But what do I need to write to let package C wait for the rebuilt of B?
Additionally, if I recall correctly, $(dw) normally comes after $(nmu). The call to $(nmu) can be extended to have an explicit binNMU number and the $(dw) call can use that. Although, you'd probably already need to look up the last binNMU number to be able to use that in the $(nmu) call, so you'd know what to use in $(dw).
Sure tooling is a big problem, but on top of that a big problem with the security archive is that it doesn't have the sources for packages that have never seen a security upload. Which means we can't even binNMU there in those cases.Until the space problem on seger is fixed, the tooling could also create a script that copies all packages. This would be a manual ftpmaster-step before the binNMU, but at least this is better than no fix at all.
