It should be possible to do this as the buildd user on elgar, but I always
do this by replying to the emails from the buildd, or creating a new email
with an adjusted subject line. Just make sure that the subject has the
package name and version that is registered and giveback or fail the
package, for example with a message like this (but with an email address
that actually reaches your buildd), for example like this:
To: buildd@crest
Subject: Re: Log for failed build of linphone_3.6.1-2 on m68k (dist=sid)
giveback
