I'm happy to state that this time it's not me. :-)
NEW packages need special attention as the override files need to be

For unstable packages the archive maintainer is Guy Maor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
for frozen packages this would be Brian White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

It is mirrored. In Germany you'll find it at least at
ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian/Incoming/
ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/debian/Incoming/
