The source package fseries was over 40 days behind on s390 and arm when I mailed
the respective arch@buildd. A few days later, an s390 package was built, whether
or that was due to my mail I do not know.

For arm, I am still waiting:

   Checking fseries

      * trying to update fseries from 191.10057-1 to 200.10058-1 \
        (candidate is 63  ays old)
      * fseries is not yet built on arm: 191.10057-2 vs 200.10058-1
