At least one buildd maintainer signs successfull builds but apparnetly
ignores failed ones. After random intervals (usually several months)
all failed builds are requeued whether they should be or not.
Requesting a specific requeue works with a week or two delay at times.
I've been filing most of the ftbfs bugs for that architecture.
You may wish to see my question to the tecnical committe on this
matter.
