How long does it take to do the following:
   for s in $SECTIONS ; do echo "section $s" ; echo status ; done \
   | ssh piupartsm at piuparts-master piuparts-master
(one could add "section $s" \n "recycle" \n "status" \n)

Master has to read all directory listings and fetch all the Packages
files and compute status (multiple times).

That's the worst a slave could do before going to sleep: all idle stamps
are expired and there is nothing to do.

in some cases we need to run
  apt-get install apt/wheezy dpkg/wheezy
  dpkg --add-architecture i386
  apt-get update

before doing the regular upgrade to get access to the :i385 packages on
amd64 - this is usually involving wine, and doing the
--enable-recommends tests just revealed two more packages needing this

in most cases this is not needed and the old ia32-libs will just be
removed during the upgrade

because someone pushed a conflicting commit ... postponed
