FWIW, I performed several archive rebuilds with gcc-4.3 as default on
i386 (using a modified gcc-defaults package), and filed all the bugs I
found. So this would not result in new FTBFS bugs.

I second the request. Not having gcc-4.3 by default on i386 and amd64
make it difficult to debug FTBFS on other arches, when the maintainer
doesn't have access to those other arches. (I keep reopening "FTBFS with
gcc 4.3" bugs where the fix was not properly tested.)
