True. Consider this: A maintainer pushes a package which you reject
and erranously chose a broken catalog name. The rejection script can
get rid of it, the submitpkg script can not. Same is true if the
maintainer won't bother updating a rejected package - and exactly
that is happening: newpkgs/ is filling up with old stuff. Not good.

I see two usecases here: One is the overriding of packages which have
not been processed (which should go into submitpkg), the other one is
for packages that are rejected (which should go into releasepkg).


Best regards
