I read this as: Q: I already did a binary upload, do I need to do a new (source-only) upload? So the answer is: A: Yes (preferably with other changes, not just a version bump). > This will make transitions that involve lots of binNMUs (such as > OCaml-related ones) much harder.

No API, but you could use the yaml that britney uses (updated every hour): https://release.debian.org/britney/state/signers.json Paul
