Given that I'm also bootstrapping Debian (in a different setting), I'm
running into much the same problems. However, when I file bugs about
build failures in non-standard environments, I don't receive the
push-back that you describe. I cannot reproduce your experience. It's a
rare thing for maintainers to tell me that I'm filing a non-bug and I do
file a *lot* of bugs. Could it be that your sample is very small or
biased? Maybe you can give examples?
In any case, the consensus seems to be that FTBFS in a non-standard
environment is a bug, but not an RC one. And in general, you get to
discuss less with maintainers if your bug includes a patch. ;)
