Neither buildd.debian.org nor www.debian.org/devel/buildd, mention where the buildd admins can be reached; and lists.debian.org does not have a "buildd@" list.<$arch@buildd.debian.org>. I just committed a change to the wanna-build-states page to that effect.I will upload ~20 source packages in the next few weeks, adding support for more architectures to each package. So I'm really looking for a general solution and not one that only applies to asis.There is no such general solution. See <http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/wanna-build-states#not-for-us>
That says:
However, wanna-build does not look at the control file of a package when creating its database;only at the packages' name and section, its urgency, and its priority.
Shouldn't wanna-build use the control file? It would then mean that the lists of packages-arch-specific would not be needed, except in the case of a single version override in the event that a package's control file accidentally listed an architecture on which it is not supported, or failed to list an architecture on which it is supported.
