I have enhanced the script by uploading update_excuses and extract all
packages excuses into single file. I converted links to and I think it
is pretty well.
Now there is the link to excuse only if there is one.
More there is a link on buildd package related page only if the package
is not Architecture: all stamped.

I took your suggestion and update the script with it. I prefered a
single value per column with an explanation (other: all contrib and
non-free packages).
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
Cheers.
