 109 But does really an end user knows/cares about it? You are talkink from
 110 a developer POV, that's a little bit low-level than most of our users.

 123
 124 mh, so the latest changelog entry should report why the previous
 125 upload was REJECTED, and what was done to fix it.

 134
 135 I suggest this only because a REJECTED package is a sort of
 136 half-release, and you still need to rework (hopefully a bit) the
 137 previous changes: you rework the previous upload (that you think it
 138 was right) to meet our standards.
 139
 140 Of course, this is just what I *feel* is correct, since no ufficial
 141 doc is available for this.
 142
 143 Cheers,

 149
 150 Of course, but I can retag ;)
