Why? If the maintainer has made some changes in the meantime while the
package has been waiting in NEW and the FTP team hadn't yet the
possibility to look at the package, why waste their time to review a
package which is going to be redone anyway?

But if you already start with a cleaner version in NEW, you have the
chance to get a feedback on the current package revision instead
of the old one. Makes much more sense to me.

I don't see how you couldn't when just asking for the package to be
marked as REJECT. Like I said, I do that often and there is nothing
wrong when the package hasn't even been looked at yet.

I rather feel embarrassed about uploading a b0rked package into NEW.

Just because your package is rejected doesn't mean you can't get it
into unstable at all. Packages are rejected all the time. It just
means the package is not *yet* fit for ACCEPT.
