a) Testing ensures that we can release with little or no version skew
b) Your assertion makes it appear as if the architectures are at fault,
when in fact 95% of the time (I have stats) build failures are due to
the package, and not specific to an arch.
The other 5% can be due to toolchain issues, or just plain old oddities
in our complex dist that requires the buildd operator to actually
manually build the package (IOW, no bug at all, just a manual build).
