We would like that too :)
Unfortunately noone has yet found out what's the problem with the
tests; especially since the build failures were not reproducible by
manual builds.

Thanks for the information!

When I understand you well, the package builds manual on some archs but
not with the autobuild system. Is that correct?

Yes, that was my understanding from some discussions on IRC (I didn't
try the manual builds on the various architectures myself).

I am the one who did the manual builds.  On every architecture for which

there is a buildd failure, the manual build succeeds.  This makes it
close to impossible to figure out the problem.
