Are you now talking about the failure on hppa or the one on ia64 (in
both cases the bugs were filed by the buildd admin)?
The one on hppa is as far as I can see nothing you can do about and
should probably be mentioned to the porters.
The one on ia64 breaks the buildd's chroot and looks to be easily solved
by making sure that the maintainer scripts don't fail when the missing
command is not available. You can indeed argue that it should not
happen, though I don't see what that brings you apart from a lot of
heated discussion and trouble?
Cheers
