Kind ftpmasters: This bug makes unrelated software to break, as it
allows incomplete packages to propagate to testing.

Example: fte 0.50.2b6-6 FTBFS in the Arch: all autobuilder, but even
in such case it propagated to testing. In fact, the main fte package
lacks its configuration file in /etc. I consider this to be "broken
enough".

I already uploaded a fix, but now it's in NEW waiting for you to process it.

Of course, this is my fault for uploading a buggy package in
source-only form without testing that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and
"dpkg-buildpackage -B" work appropriately, but even in such case
maintainers do not deserve to be punished with this kafkian nightmare
for such things.

I completely fail to see how can you consider this as a "normal" bug.

Thanks.
