Well, the idea is not to stall the package with any review request. My packages have a typical review turn around of several months to a year. Semantically it isn't much different from deciding to change subpackage structure and noone would require ever packager to resubmit his package for adding/changing a subpackage. Only this time the split is already at the source level and involves cvs/bugzilla etc. high level changes. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
