Hi Thorsten,

there is a very similar effect which I'd like to point out as another
example:

You just uploaded the source package visionegg to new which created the
binary package python-visionegg.  So the web sentinel should know the
package as in new queue ... but it does not.

which fixes this issue (just rerendered the tasks page to let you see
  http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/psychology#python-visionegg ).

If you look at the Published-* fields inside the tasks files which are
deprecated by debian/upstream files you can delete these as well because
you might have noticed that I took over this information (SVN revision
13325 in Debian Med repository) and thus we can drop it here (and also
get rid of Yaroslav's blends-inject notice. ;-)  (Yaroslav, may I
somehow convince you to rather use debian/upstream than Published-*
fields?  The time when this might stop working might come when a GSoC
student will rewrite the web sentinel code ...)

The information from debian/upstream in VCS to UDD needs another cron
cycle of imports (=1 day) but it will be there and also available for
other applications rather than only for the tasks pages.

Kind regards
