I have a specific monitoring for kernel bumps and d-i daily build
failures indeed. I almost was trigger-happy as well, but refrained from
doing so when I noticed some FTBFSes; which made it curious to get
notified about d-i daily build failures a few hours after that. ;)

Indeed, all green so far.

I only remember one particular time (without any references whatsoever
because I'm not a memory guy) where we had to wait for a few iterations
since build failures were getting fixed… and other discovered, so it
took a few days, maybe weeks.


Anyway, back to the topic: Great, let's keep current practice. Of
course, it totally makes sense to jump the gun in some cases. What I
initially thought was that arm* folks were interested in recent fixes in
latest linux (this seems usual because well arm*…), and it seemed odd to
bump the version to depend on a linux version… that wasn't built. :)
