Thanks for your info!

Yes. In latest ARM BoF of DebConf18, Steve (93sam) informed us that
he's trying to rebuild all the armhf archive on arm64 box.
When that's done, we will get to know how many packages need to fix.
If the number of those packages is limited and can be fixed before
buster, we can choose this way for both armhf and armel.
But if the number is huge that we don't have enough manpower to fix,
we need to find real machine (such as rack-mounted armhf/armel NAS
box) to work as buildd.
Looking forward to getting the news update from Steve.
Cheers,
