Part of us busy preparing the archive software for the release, yes. An other part of us is working on other improvements of said software, but mostly NEW processing isn't top priority during a freeze, as these packages won't end up in the release anyway (and some of them might even hinder the release), so we currently mostly process NEW packages fixing RC bugs or upon request of release mangagers / d-i developers / kernel developers or packages ending up in experimental anyway. > What I would want to know, in particular: > > 1- If this is normal, or if having to wait for >1 week indicates that > the package has some kind of problem. In general: No. Even if there isn't a freeze, packages might need to wait longer than a week on NEW before getting processed. > 2- In the latter case, do FTP contact you (even by receiving some > kind of REJECT notification), or are you supposed to ask them what's > the problem after some time? You'll get a mail if your package get's rejected, or if we see a problem which needs to be addressed / clarified before it can be accepted. > 2.1- If so, what's would be the time appropriate to ask? 1 month for > example? 1 Month sounds reasonable to me under normal circumstances. > 2.2- What would be the correct way to contact them -- some email > emailing list or a bug report to the pseudo-package?
