I've seen packages that don't fail until the very end of the build. This can waste a lot of buildd time, especially on very large packages. So yes, as the maintainer, it may be your problem to fix, but failing to test packages that as a result fail on the buildds won't make the buildd admins very happy. Also, FTBFS bugs are often filed by buildd admins; I'm sure they'd like to spend their time doing things other than filing those bugs. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
