It's on my TODO list to add more details here, but it has not exactly
a high priority I'll admit. The existing warnings are already a step
up from the previous situation where there was no information at all
and I was being regularly pestered by people to ask why there weren't
new images today / this week. I've tweaked the build scripts to copy
the top-level logfiles and add links to them now.
There is also a way for debian-installer people to submit reports
about bugs that will affect the CD builds, but it seems that it's not
being used. With more information there, that will be visible to
Debian CD users.
In *these* particular failure cases, there have been d-i build
failures ongoing for several weeks, meaning that installer images have
not been available for debian-cd to use. That was fixed yesterday by
Julien Cristau, so things will hopefully fix themselves in the next
run. I've just started a by-hand weekly build on pettersson now to
check this.
