Would people be opposed to changing that? I would be quite happy to get
mails if my packages FTBFS on various architectures, and I believe I'm
competent to at least usually see if something fails because of
something obvious or if it looks like a chroot/buildd issue. FWIW,
Ubuntu mails maintainers on build failures (at least in PPAs), and I've
found that to work well.
