-With a fairly recent dput, this section
+It is sometimes useful to upload a package immediately, but to want this
+package to arrive in the archive only a few days later. For example,
+when preparing a <link linkend="nmu">Non-maintainer Upload</link>,
+you might want to give the maintainer a few days to react.

-in <filename>~/.dput.cf</filename> should work fine for uploading to the
-<literal>DELAYED</literal> queue.
+An upload to the delayed directory keeps the package in
+<ulink url="http://ftp-master.debian.org/deferred.html">
+the deferred uploads queue"</ulink>.
+When the specified waiting time is over, the package is moved into
+the regular incoming directory for processing.
+This is done through automatic uploading to
+<literal>&ftp-master-host;</literal> in upload-directory
+<literal>DELAYED/[012345678]-day</literal>. 0-day is uploaded
+multiple times per day to <literal>&ftp-master-host;</literal>.
-<emphasis>Note:</emphasis> Since this upload queue goes to
-<literal>&ftp-master-host;</literal>, the prescription found in <xref
-linkend="upload-ftp-master"/> applies here as well.
+With dput, you can use the <literal>--delayed DELAY</literal>
+parameter to put the package into one of the queues.
