I want to move from my Cturtle vslam installation to the diamondback version. After doing a sudo aptitude update and a sudo aptitude full-upgrade I try to install the ros-diamondback-vslam package however this fails because of different version dependencies:

koen@pma-09-031 ~ $ sudo aptitude install ros-diamondback-vslam 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ros-diamondback-vslam{b} 
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 155MB of archives. After unpacking 357MB will be used.

vslam is currently broken, so the debian packages are not available for diamondback. You will have to install from source if you wish to use it. In general, experimental/research stacks may often go into a broken state, at which point their debian packages will be pulled.

Is there a protocol to notify such broken debian packages? Or do I file a ticket each time?

The debian build status pages http://www.ros.org/wiki/release will give you information about what is in the repository. Pre-1.0 stacks should be considered volatile and will be pulled if broke. Stack owners are generally aware when their stacks are pulled, so there is no need to file a ticket.
