Well, I would like to explain the situation: - We have worked hard with a big package: pcl. The package goes to new queue on June (2014-06-10). It was about 4 months. - It was rejected because problems in the copyright file. (2014-10-03) - Upstream in the middle releases a new version. - we work with the new version and I asked my sponsor to upload it on Wednesday (2014-10-15) - my sponsor upload it on Wednesday 2014-10-22 and ftp-masters upload it on unstable on Friday 2014-10-24. - the same day, a few hours after be in unstable someone filled a Important bug of one binary package #766685: libpcl-dev - a few hours after I prepare a new version of the package solving the bug and I upload to mentors the new package, comment the bug and ask to my sponsor to upload the package. However, I made a mistake and I put UNRELEASED so my sponsor rejects to upload it. - yesterday morning (Sunday 2014-10-27 Morning (UTC)) I asked to my sponsor to upload the new version, thinking that the period to have a package in testing before November 5th ended Sunday 27th 23:55 (UTC) (November 5th - 10 days). My sponsor upload it this morning 5:57, day 28th. So, one thing it that the package has important bugs and we are not able to solve it in time, so this package will not be in Jessie. But, are you telling me that the package won't be in Jessie because 6 hours after all the steps that I have done?
