In light of
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/03/msg00012.html
the release architecture must have N+1 buildds where N is the number
required to keep up with the volume of uploaded packages
at least once per day for etch.

It is not only a question of days, but also, what expectations we have
for the architecture. If we e.g. know that in the next days a buildd
will be switched on again (as the buildd crashed, and the local admin is
away), we are of course a bit more tolerant. Also, vacations are
accepted.
