Hmm. Failure to build from source is still a bug.

Ok, some people do not consider a FTBFS to be serious if the failure
does not happen in the official buildds, but this fact should only
make the bug non-RC, not make it a non-bug.

OTOH, if there is really a good reason to fail in this non-standard
environment, then the bug should be reassigned to whatever package
setups the non-standard environment (bootstrap-vz?), not just closed.

Thanks.
