I have a different suggestion to remove the noise: Instead of having three states (unreproducible, FTBFS, reproducible), you could have four: * unreproducible * failing, previously unreproducible * failing, previously reproducible * reproducible Then a mail should only be sent for state changes that involve a change of reproducibility, and if a package in unstable goes from reproducible to failing, previously reproducible to reproducible, no mails are sent out. This makes sense: The r.d.n project is about reproducibility, not about whether something is buildable or not.
