Hi Peter,
Silly me just now realized that you are also a part of the DSA team, so
you would know better on the availability of backup space etc.
And anyways it is 'not of my business' -- just wanted to help possibly

Meanwhile, browsing dsa.d.o I even ran into an outstanding wishlist
about s.d.o on http://dsa.debian.org/hardware-wishlist/ ;)
Cheers!
