All of which would go a lot better if the maintainer were told about
whatever issue caused the buildd to be configured not to build the
package rather than having to discover that this has happened and
infer the reasoning for the decision.
Also note that this discussion is about the buildds being configured to
not even try compiling a package, not about build failures encountered
on the buildds.
