David Woodhouse (dwmw2(a)infradead.org) said:
It might be OK to allow the bug to be filed _after_ the build
failure,
explaining the reason for the failure and why it's outside the
capabilities of the package maintainer to fix it. Then the package could
be pushed for the architectures for which it _did_ build. But I don't
see any real advantage to that over the current system; it's just more
complexity.
Because, realistically, I don't want secondary arches to hold up
development work in the cases where:
- gcc breaks for X number of days
- the architecture maintainers go AWOL
- the hosting provider for said secondary arches goes AWOL
