It is only a bug that prevents a package from entering testing (and thus
the next stable release) if a newer version fails to build on a platform
that already had a successful build, which is almost always a sign of
really bad coding practice, which in turn is a reason for keeping a
package out of a stable release.

If a package never has compiled for a certain arch, noone except the
porters and a few curious users who try uninstallable packages will ever
notice.
