We currently do not ensure hard that other things can be built either. Things were able to build when they were uploaded and sometimes thankfully someone even checks if they still build (and judging from the many FTBFS bugs filed in the process, being buildable back then and being buildable now is really not the same). So I don't see why storing the result and comparing it to a newly built one (and failing if it does not match) on the corresponding architecture is not quite a good solution ( if you want to make it even better, you can set up a regular private rebuild on that architecture to make sure it still is buildable all the time... ;-> ) Bernhard R.

At least for udav it should be enough to schedule binNMU:
