I uploaded a new version of www-sql (with binary packages www-mysql
and the new DFSG-free www-pgsql) on Saturday to chiark. Now it's not
going to make it because of the master problems and because I uploaded
it to master as well yesterday (and only because it seemed to be taking
a while to make it from chiark). Am I now to miss out because it's
a new version with not just bug fixes?

In this case the new version was only released about a week and a half
ago and it took the upstream author and me that week to track down
a problem I had with the built binaries.
