The Ocaml programming language has exactly the same problem, but the Debian Ocaml maintainers have automated the process and last time to Ocaml compiler version was updated over 95% of all Ocaml libraries were rebuilt within 24 hours.
looking at http://debian.glondu.net/monitor/ocaml/ocaml_transition_monitor.html I get the impression that the Ocaml guys need to re-build everything when a new Ocaml library comes out, but not when just a dependency was upgraded. Is that right? If it is so, we have an excuse due to our slightly more complicated procedure. Also, how do they get it in 24 – don’t they have to wait, for each level in the dependency tree, for the former level to have been built on a buildd, upload signed by a buildd admin and them moved to the archive with the next mirror push?
