What you SHOULDN'T do:

• report as out-of-date a package when a beta or a RC is out
• report as out-of-date a package which conflicts
• report as out-of-date a package which doesn't build
• report as out-of-date a package which is broken
• report as out-of-date a package when the mirror you use is out-of-date
• and my favorite, report as out-of-date a package which WORKS like

this one at the bottom of this mail

I can add this:
