Normally, packages migrate after 10 days. That is, when the urgency is set 
to "low" in debian/changelog. "medium" urgency uploads migrate after 5 days, 
high urgency uploads after 2 days. (And just like one should inflate the 
severity of bugs, one shouldnt inflate the urgency neither.)

The release team can overwrite the wait-time, making it 1 day or 20 days or 
whatever they see is useful. (Setting it to 20 was for example done during 
the freeze, when a desired but not totally safe upload was unblocked to be 
able to enter testing. As it was a bit risky, the release team said, ok, this 
can go in, but only if it proves to be in unstable for 20 days without a 
serious bug.)

Besides those days waiting, a migration is also not allowed to introduce new 
RC bugs in testing and the package has to be build on all archs.

Oh, and during a freeze a releaseteam member has to manually unblock the 
package, so that it can migrate. Usually, if the new package fixes an RC bug, 
the releaseteam notices by itself, else one should send a mail to the 
release-mailinglist. If there is no freeze, an unblock is not needed.

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.


regards,
	Holger
