BoF agenda and discussion

Check if a new upload has all necessary conflicts or replaces in place

• for a new upload, if it fits into the uploaded distribution
• for a release, if all necessary replaces/conflicts exist for a dist upgrade from foo, foo-security, foo-updates.

Inform the uploader/file bugs.

The needed information is available in the Contents file for the distro and the file listing for the uploaded binary packages. Information about diversions needs to be made available.
