Your point is moot, mostly: FTBFS and package relationships issues are
probably the easiest RC bugs to fix, they're not the kind of RC bugs
we're seeing right now before a release (at that point any RC bugs of
these kinds that aren't fixed are either tricky or not being taken
care of properly). Also most FTBFS are not reported by users.
