I would not include the architecture specific issues as these might be
temporary (missing builds, not yet supported on all arches...) and
tracking these could cause lots of pain with little gain :-)
Finding replacements is not necessary IMHO, it's more important to file
the bugs. Though if one does know possible replacements it's of course a
good idea to mention them...

Note that the ones in testing consist of ones fixed in unstable and ones
that are also an issue in unstable... For the former category one should
look at the testing migration issues and the latter should be mentioned
below...
