It's clearly not mandatory. Otherwise, your recent upload would have been rejected, or at least we would see build logs for "amd64" and "all" here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=wxsqlite3 But I fail to see why people would wait for them to be mandatory before doing them. I can only see pros and no cons. For example, it does not only ensures that bugs like this one never propagate to testing, it also avoids other type of mistakes (like building a package for unstable in a stable chroot, or not building in an up-to-date chroot, leading to wrong library dependencies, things like that). Thanks.
