I didn't mean to imply that, and if it came across as such, I would like to apologise. What I meant to say is that if there is an architecture-specific problem in one of your packages, you should actively work towards its resolution. Sometimes this may mean debugging and fixing it yourself; sometimes this may mean asking a porter to help you with it. But it should not mean (and that was my main point) ignoring the bug "because it's not a release architecture, anyway". That happened rather often to the m68k port in its final days on the Debian archives, and it was not helpful. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html
