 * Outstanding actions from last meeting
  * (Matthias)buildd site: accept superseded binary builds, IMO this helps slow archs, if people upload a next version very quickly, and then go on assuming that the new version already is in the archive.
    * distro side: upload with proper dependencies: seen at least with KDE and evolution. maybe others.
