And even if some cases are actually trivial, that takes a lot of time, which is why many packages are simply marked as Failed with a “Needs porting” message, while others are simply Maybe-Failed: because the buildd maintainer hasn't had a chance to check what was going on. (That holds for packages in BD-Uninstallable state too. The list and the graphs are check from time to time. But again, best effort.) Mraw, KiBi.
