Exactly. The official autobuilders do not build all binaries at once. Some autobuilders do (the equivalent of) "dpkg-buildpackage -B" to build the arch-dependent packages and the Arch:all autobuilder does (the equivalent of) "dpkg-buildpackage -A" to build only the arch-independent packages. If any of those fails, the package is considered "not to build from source" and according to Release Policy, the bug is serious. We want all packages in stretch to be buildable in case they are uploaded in source-only form. You can find the details of this release goal here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=830997 I'd love to have filed this bug against verilog-mode earlier but the package did not exist before. Thanks.
