There appears to be some confusion here. stretch/updates is in the security archive and therefore irrelevant to this discussion. Before the point release, your upload will be in proposed-updates. Packages in proposed-updates are available once a member of the Release Team has accepted them from the stable-new queue. That still requires users consuming proposed-updates, which most don't. Finally, stretch-updates is a special distribution which the Release Team can push packages from proposed-updates to under some circumstances. That still requires the package to have been accepted into proposed-updates first as per the above, and I'm not convinced that this upload would meet the criteria for such a release. Regards, Adam
