No, this list contains all stalled packages, including the ones that depend on packages that are too young to go into testing. They are uninteresting from my perspective, because the work they needed has already been done. I'm not claiming that solving these problems will solve all problems, but the top of my list are the most urgent ones (from a pure package perspective). Other problems will surface once these are solved, and this is indeed why these things are the most urgent ones. Before they are solved the other problems will go unnoticed. The key to better performance in producing new Debian versions is not necessarily in people doing more work, but in reducing cycle times. The earlier a problem is noticed, the earlier it can be fixed. The earlier you discover that your bug is holding up everything else, the earlier you will get to it. Jacob Hallén
