The information is from:
http://www.buildd.net/buildd/alpha_needs-build.txt

The problem with the queue-odering is that it absolutely does not
respect the time of the upload, the queues are just sorted by priority
of the packages (vdr is unfortunately Priority: extra, which is the
lowest), then alphabetically by Section, and then by package-name.
(The last-build-state on the arch has also some influence on this.)

So with the current high upload-rate and the queue-algorithm above,
nearly all packages with Priority: extra will not be built in a
reasonable time, at least on the archs with the overloaded buildds.
(alpha, arm, mips, mipsel, m68k)

Ah, ok, this really would not help very much, as escher seems to be
totally overloaded anyway.

Yes, i prefer this solution too: -5 closes 4 bugs (3 important), and=20
adds some really useful featues (patchlevel-handling...). The problem=20
with this option is that vdr then becomes out-of-date on all archs,=20
and with the current situation with the buildds it will take very=20
long to build it.

@Tobias:
What do you think, is vdr 1.2.6-5 ready, or do you want to add
additional patches?
