The problem is not doing the rebuilds, it's tuits to actually analyze and
report bugs. There are multiple such efforts: reproducible builds use a
diverse bunch of hardware, I run a single Odroid-U2:
(arch:any) https://angband.pl/deb/rebuild.pl
(arch:all) https://angband.pl/deb/rebuild-all.pl
yet didn't have the tuits to go through them in several months.
Also, this machine does have neon so it's not even armhf baseline. And so
many packages compile but don't test. Thus, regressions from building on
arm64 need not just hardware but also manpowers to detect.
