Come one. Packages which are known as buggy (= have FTBFS RC-bugs) are
of course counted as, well, buggy. Though of course our hope is that the
number of such packages goes down, both by removals and bug fixing.

"Your port needs to be able to and does build the vast majority of the
archive before we consider it fitting for release." That there are more
tough times like now when toolchain changes are happening is known and
will be not counted negative for an architecture, except of course, if
the toolchain-breakage is arch-specific.
