I'm wondering how the obviously missing B-D went unnoticed then. I thought checking ones package builds fine in a clean chroot was supposed to be on everyone's list. But oh well, call me an elitist or something. > > - start checking your package builds fine on the buildds; > > I work in an event driven fashion, so I don't plan to do this, and I > don't think its a reasonable thing to ask for either.

Oh, if having a quick look on the buildd page to check everything looks in order is overkill, I guess you're relying on your pre-upload build check, then? > > - start doing what you have to do (cf. above) to get bug mail; > > I will look into this; OTOH bug 561549 was open for 2 days - hardly > the sign of an abandoned or in-distress package. I'm not sure how those 2 days are related to being subscribed to the packages one maintains. > The things you ask for have to do with you not having to speak to > people, rather than being relaxed when you do.

If I hadn't seen so many broken/untested/whatever uploads, I certainly could be in a more positive mindset when I notice yet another broken Build-Depends case. Nonetheless, I have to say I'm quite happy to see people (like you) fixing things quite quickly after they're reported. What strikes me everytime is that such uploads happen, and so often.
