 Because most uploads to unstable that require NEW processing don't depend 
 on packages that aren't in the archive yet. 
  
 Let's please not ask ftp-master to implement a policy to reject or delay 
 packages that have such missing dependencies. I'm concerned that would 
 delay NEW processing even more.

 Sure.
 
 
 
 This sounds to me like it should be a Debian wide policy. If this is a
 
 problem, why are uploads to unstable that need to go through NEW even
 
 allowed in the first place?

Because most uploads to unstable that 
 require NEW processing don't depend on packages that aren't in the 
 archive yet.

Let's please not ask ftp-master to implement a 
 policy 
 to reject or delay packages that have such missing dependencies. I'm 
 concerned€€that would delay 
 NEW processing even more.
