If the package never build before on the given platform, I do not believe it is an RC bug that it fail to build. Because of this, I suggest redusing the severity to important.
'serious' should be used if it is breaking etch rc policy, and according to <URL:http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt>, the following holds: 4. Autobuilding [...] Packages must autobuild without failure on all architectures on which they are supported. Packages must be supported on as many architectures as is reasonably possible. Packages are assumed to be supported on all architectures for which they have previously built successfully. Prior builds for unsupported architectures must be removed from the archive (contact -release or ftpmaster if this is the case). I guess the question is if ktechlap can be reasonably supported on s390. I leave that to the maintainer to decide. Is <sys/io.h> only available on some archs? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
