Hmm, it might be some other problem too.  I've been keeping track
of the state of one of my uploads, hextype 3.0-9.  Its update-excuses
output has looked like this for more than a week now:

     * hextype 3.0-9 (currently 3.0-8) (optional) (low)
          + Maintainer: Richard Braakman <dark@xs4all.nl>
          + hextype uploaded 19 days ago, out of date by 9 days!
	  + out of date on m68k: hextype (from 3.0-8)
	  + not considered

If I follow the link to the m68k status query, I see a page about the
upload where State is "Building" and Previous-State is "Needs-Build"
-- or the other way around!  They seem to trade places every few days,
and the package is stuck in unstable.

Is there a way I can see logs of the build?
