If we don't wait for an arch, it gets out-of-sync quite soon, and due to

can't release it in any case.)
Why not include diffs of the source for the arches that required
porting before the packages would compile and work properly for that
arch to comply with this legal requirement? This would allow for
Tier2 arches to be released with a later point release or some other
schedule.

I was thinking of having support in the buildd to fetch source, check
a local patch archive for fixes, patch source, build package, add
patch to each debs /usr/share/doc/package/.
Would that satisfy the GPL or other DFSG licenses?
As long as the patches are made available to the same people who can
get the binaries, you should be set.
Though, just for ease of access, it should be made available in a
similar way to what the tier1 arches do for their sources.
