I've deleted the messages about build daemons and IIRC a small allocation
of development machines, so I might be forgetting something obvious:

I was wondering, is it possible to find and ship Branden an arm machine
of some sort, so that he would be able to build the packages himself?
Everyone who uses X on debian-arm would benefit from having X well
supported.
