| Hmm, are you implying that it eventually got better?
It seems to have gotten better now, yes. However, people are often
quite happy to just throw source at the buildds until it builds, at
least unless they're told not to. This is less of a problem for
Ubuntu than Debian because Ubuntu's slowest arch is quite fast, while
doing the same to the Debian ARM port would make the buildd (and the
buildd operator) very unhappy.
