Thank you very much, that was indeed a great help. But you didn't build
all, and that was okay at that time, since we detected that some
often used something-to-LaTeX converters had bugs that led to FTBFS, and
it didn't make sense to continue before those would be fixed. I think I
asked you a couple of questions during debugging, and while you were
very responsive at the beginning, you stopped answering at some point,
and I assumed you simply didn't have any time left, when mass building
started to make sense again. Probably I should have asked you
explicitly.

Is there a list of packages that have not been built by the autobuilders
since a certain date? After subtracting those with known FTBFS bugs, it
would make sense to rebuild them. The same is true for Architecture:
all packages that didn't have an upload since teTeX 3.0 is in unstable.
