I would like to see some tagging mechanism for bugs that are general 64-bit bugs as well, so we could theoretically spread the load on these between porters for all three archs. BTW, given that most of the cases of "broken" packages *should* be turned into FTBFS bugs by the maintainer in the absence of any other action by the porters, I would suggest this is the appropriate category for FTBFS bugs even if we aren't planning to proactively usertag them.
