I intensely dislike the separation between OS and DPMT, for exactly this
reason.  Too many packages of general use to Python developers is out of reach
of DPMT.  I thought it was mostly a vcs-induced separation, but now I think
it's clear that even after DPMT moves to git, this separation will continue.

The multi-version design of the archive does cause problems.  I outlined a big
thing that I think Ubuntu has that helps reduce the impact of this.  I'm not
sure if the same kind of this would help Debian, whether it would be feasible,
or even acceptable by the majority of Debian developers.

I really think we need to be finding ways to *reduce* the separation between
OS and DPMT.  One of the things I hope will happen after git migration is
subsuming as much as possible from zope-pkg into DPMT since again, there are a
lot of general interest packages in that namespace.

Right, and observe that it's not feasible to track down *all* reverse
dependencies when updating a single package.  That's part of why -proposed
migration is so nice, an automated system does that tracking for you.

+1 also, but it's always going to be a spot check for sanity so things will
fall through the cracks.  Until we get something like the promotion tests, we
just have to commit ourselves to being diligent within reason before
uploading, and responsible to help fix breakages after they're discovered.

Cheers,
