Alexander,
I would add the resync'ing to stable is somewhat of a special case.
We aren't really changing the maintainers packaging but rather attempting
to move his latest packaging over from unstable. Unless we want the process
to drag on indefinitely, notification should be sufficient. I've emailed
the maintainer of scipy-core-py about his other packages as well. We have
packages like fftw3 which don't build on x86_64 or 10.6 in stable but are
updated and compatible in unstable.
