The autobuilder take only new uploaded versions, but if you do an binary-upload for powerpc
he means it is all up-to-date.
If we follow strictly policy and we change a little bit to the source we must! do an MNU with
source upload. But we will this not do without asking the maintainer of this package. But if
the maintainer is MIA we must wait ~3 months. This is ok for one or two packages, but not for 20,
50, 100 or 200 packages.
So we break policy and compile the package and upload it regulary (if possible, that means if
the version of this package is not yet available for powerpc; if we must upload a newer version
we increment the debian version: from foo-4.3 to foo-4.4) and post only the source-diff as a
bug-report.
The autobuilder handle only source-packages.
If you have the permission from the maintainer to do an NMU, you should change then the source
and the debian/changelog (dpkg-buildpackage without -B).

Ok :-) Let me search for important packages.
BTW: we are down from 20.4% to 18.1% of failed packages; yeah!
