That strikes me as irresponsible; why should it be the buildd maintainer's job
to monitor your packages? They should make sure the buildds are working
properly and are kept up to date, nothing more. I'd say I had more failures
to build due to real platform differences than uninstallable packages (though
I've had both).
I just bookmarked http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=neil and click on
the buildd or excuses links.
