I cannot see any real advantage for that, but for avoiding a FTBFS reports proliferation. Also a. Packages could become FTBFS later, when their dependency pkgs change. b. They are already kept off testing (if there is a regression), so what's the problem? c. Very few packages are seriuosly broken on some archs. Their problems are generally due either to compiler/binutils problems or upstream coding. In both cases removing them on some archs could be a profitable solution for releasing. -- Francesco P.
