I would assume that there is some logical= =20 > order in which the packages are built (most used first? Though not sure= =20 > how that would be determined) I continuously rebuild packages using a method that only builds "changed" packages (new, updated to new version or with a dependency that was changed). This typically gives a turnaround time on i386 of less than a day to several days for packages becoming available, but as I said in another reply I'm not uploading them now because of the looming release cycle.
