See for example, the column "watch" at the right of this pages:

Version in pink are the one that differs from Debian version.

We also have this in Debian. We run regularly a whole archive rebuild. See
an example reports here:
 http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/

Now, for the "why GODI doesn't do it ?" part.

Piupart is run on a cluster of 5000+ computer and it takes at least a day
to compile. GODI is a lot smaller but will have less computer. And piupart
is an already pretty big piece of code.

In general, Debian has a 800+ people workforce, which is not the case of
GODI. Setting watch file, running them and fixing bugs on its own is a full
time job.

So, solutions exist and can be applied, though I think that we need more
workforce to apply all the suggestion of Sebastien. It is not as easy as it
seems.

(Though, OASIS-DB will provide some solution esp. regarding watch/uscan but
it is not yet here and we should not rely on it for now).

Cheers
Sylvain
