Yes, etch-secure is some unembargoed stuff, handled by Andreas Barth & Co.
Please ask him about details.

If there's something missing, please tell me in detail. Bad thing is that
I don't have that much time for buildd.net anymore, but there's stilll so
much to do. Even more sadly my call for help resulted in just two people
that are willing to help, but seem to be very busy themselves as well. So,
if there are some more people interested to help, I would appreciate their
work! :)

The problem is partly with the buildd suite itself. It's not very flexible
and therefore a new target needs a special patch buildd/sbuild version to be
able to build from buildd.d.o or from ftbfs.de.
If the buildd suite would be smarter, we could use all available machines
for the other targets as well.

IMHO, it should be ready for etch, when someone would resolve the
outstanding issues by adding them to nfu.
