Lets also take atlas3 so we see something interesting:

http://people.debian.org/~igloo/status.php?email=&packages=galeon+fam+atlas3&arches=

Installed means Debian has it in the archive, Failed means the buildd
admin has set the package to failed and Failure means there is a
buildd log with maybe-failed but no admin action for it.
