*checks headers* You wanted "reply all", predictably enough. Which
means this is now annoyingly unthreaded. You also didn't copy -hurd on
your forward...

Well, the question was primarily aimed at members of the Release Team,
who know what the terms mean. In short, an architecture is "broken" if
a source package may migrate even though doing so causes new
uninstallability on that architecture. A fucked architecture is one on
which source packages may migrate even if the packages have not yet been
built on the architecture.
