Sure. There's nothing new to this.

Yes again. But IMO a missing entry in Build-Depends does not make the
package as such buggy. It's not that it does not compile on one arch it just
requires a small manual action on the build machine. Yes, this has to be
fixed (and in fact the fixed one is already in incoming) but I still do not
see the reason why it is removed for this.
Sure a serious bug means removal, so how about not calling this bug serious?
