Ok, good to know.

Cool, sounds great.

However I'm still not entirely convinced, that the whole process for universe 
SRU's is optimal yet. There are also some high delays between the first 
debdiff and three acks from motu-sru, which might be another place to fix the 
process.

Imho Jordan made a pretty good proposal, though this would kinda imply that 
the remove-from-non-release-pockets bug is fixed. What do you think of it?

Cheers,
   Stefan.
