My package is USABLE in ALL architecture :)
It failed Junichi's autobuilder when he was doing FTBFS bug hunt.
This is second time I got this type bug from him.

It is RC bug which prevent it to be moved to testing.
I would love to get "normal" bug report from Junichi which make me fix

Are you talking about documentation content. That's a different issue.
This is a issue of SGML source build failure on regression test
autobuilder run by Junichi.
For the rest, see my post following Santiago Vila.
