I do agree that not waiting for at least a week can be considered rude

Something that's been going through my mind recently is the
following:
Say I had package foo, and all was going well. Then, upstream,
they change the package name to 'bar,' and I decide to go along with
it.
How could I go about making it automated for an upgrade to happen?
Could I drop a Depends:
Is it permissable to create binaries, linked against svgalib,
which are setuid/setgid root.root?
The security paranoid system administrator in me says this is
a big no-no, particularly when what I'm talking about is a game
(lxdoom). But then, when you install lxdoom-svga, it's unusable

How exactly do autobuilders work? Will, within a certain period of
time, a package appear in (for example) the m68k ftp archive of
my packages, built by an autobuilder daemon on an m68k machine?
As well - closed bugs still show up in things like querybts. Do
