This is like this only because Wheezy is frozen. Normally, it takes only
few days to get packages pass the NEW queue. At least that is what I've
been told. Also, what takes time is actually the peer review process for
checking of a package is really non-free, and this does take a fair
amount of time.

I hope it will go back to normal (eg: few days) soon.

Also, indeed it really is unfair to compare Debian, a distribution based
on volunteering, without any commercial goal, and close to no funds,
with SUSE, which is a rather large company.

That being said, I do agree that the NEW queue thing in Debian would
deserve (at least) some fixing.
