Note that the packages listed need to be rebuild on all arches, including
i386.

Filing bugs != Fixing problems; in this case, it's probably entirely
possible to do most of the rebuilds without bothering the maintainers at
all. I'm pretty sure Ben had scripts to automate this during the potato
freeze for sparc, eg. That's not to say that bugs and NMUs aren't the way
to go here, just that there are other otpions.
Note that binary only recompiles should be versioned as either:
5.4.6-3 -> 5.4.6-3.0.1
or 5.4.6-3.1 -> 5.4.6-3.1.1
