Questions on libc5 for new architecture (arm)

[Tor Slettnes <tor@slett.net>]

Two questions, both related to an upload of 'libcompface' for ARM.

 - I have built some packages for the ARM architecture, and usually
   they are installed the day after I have uploaded them to master.
   One particular package has not been installed after 2-3 days.
   (libcompface). 

   I re-did the upload yesterday just to be sure I had gotten all
   files with it.  I also checked in the Incoming directory.  It's
   all still sitting there.  Another package I uploaded after I
   re-uploaded this one is already installed.

   Should I assume something is wrong with the package?  Would I have
   heard from someone about it?  (Similar to the INSTALLED
   confirmation). 

 - The 'debian-arm' distribution never had libc5; libc6 is the first
   libc available for it.  The 'rules' file for libcompface builds
   both a libc5 and libc6 version.  I did a binary-only build, but
   "faked" the libc5 portion, then removed the resulting binaries
   libcompface*.changes file, before doing the 'dupload'.
   (This may be a clue to why it was not installed, perhaps?)

   I noticed someone else had done the same for the 'alpha'
   architecture.  Is it "acceptable" practise?  Or should I do
   a port-specific condition in the 'rules' file to exclude 
   libc5 builds for this architecture, then file a bug report to
   the source maintainer?
