The difficulty is that, from Cuirass’ viewpoint, “hello.x86_64-linux”
and “hello.armhf-linux” are just two different unrelated jobs.

Perhaps what we would need is to internally change how jobs are
represented in the database: we could have one job, “hello”, connected
to one or more “builds”, each with its own system.

I think it would amount to splitting the “Builds” table into two tables:
“Builds” and “Jobs”.  Clément, does that make sense?
