Well, we are spoilt by the fact that it's usually minor things that break in alpha releases. Which

Was it known that these packages were broken prior to uploading? I don't see the benefit
in uploading them in those circumstances, even in a pre-release distribution... Or are you
talking about a system to alert people about breakage once it's been reported?
