You can run lintian on the resulting binaries, which you can't on source-only uploads. (Well, you can only check the source package.) Now, if that stub binary you upload is free from errors ftp-masters reject upon, then you can still work around that. And I didn't bother to check now if they really rely on binary checks yet, however I'd at least assume something like binary-package-is-empty. ;-) Kind regards, Philipp Kern -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
