Well, that's fine if it really is just a build problem. But that's not
always the case. Sometimes (as in the udev split) providing the new
packages is just forgotten.

Well, if "shortly" covers an interval of more thant one week, ok.

I have one (small/not-so-small) wish regarding these inconsistencies:
Could the repo be checked automatically after new packages have been
posted or packages have been replaced and the result be posted to this
list?
