I am not an ftp-master but if I were one (and as a mentor for quite a few projects) I would have preferred to have re-uploads because - ftp masters already looked at some past version - having old and new versions eases to see what has changed (debdiff) instead of starting all over or digging out previous version - shows active interest of original maintainers for original uploader benefit is that package doesn't loose its order in the NEW (IIRC). overall -- I am not sure what could be a benefit of REJECT+REUPLOAD -- Yaroslav O.
