Sometimes bugs manifest themselves as compile-time failures on one arch and
run-time failures on another.
But in any case, the bug is in the source package, so why should binaries
generated from a buggy source be allowed in?
Also, remember that testing is the foundation for the next stable. Imagine
the support nightmare of having 12 different versions of the same package in
stable. The work for the security team would be atrocious.
