But wouldn't the FTBFS bug be filed after the removal of the build-dep,
so that it is too late for the maintainer to assist in keeping the
build-dep in the archive? I thought this part of the thread was about
getting notification of pending, not already happened, removals so that
help could be directed in time to keep the package in the archive. Do I
misunderstand?
