We've always had the rule of thumb that packagers should not vote for

One goal of the update acceptance criteria for pre-releases is also that
_anyone_ gets an opportunity to try out a test-update before it is marked
stable.
Anyway, I think I've seen counted "self-votes" also for older dists, but

done by many packagers.
I may have added karma to an update or two of mine. Usually with
packages that can break more critical services than regular packages.
The reason being is that I can test on my local workstation and in a VM,
however it isn't the same environment as my live servers. So I test
locally, push to updates-testing and consume it on my production
machines. If good, then I usually add karma. I think its fairly rare for
me, and I can only think of one package where I do that...
