Not only. A typical scenario that does happen and can really hinder porting is when an upstream source often introduces non-portable changes. The package needs to be ported, the porter team thus provides a patch. The patch lingers in the BTS until the maintainer makes a new upload for a new upstream release. He integrates the proposed patch, but the new upstream release introduces another non-portability issue, and thus another patch is needed. The porter team provides a patch, which lingers in the BTS until etc. In the end the package never gets to build on the port.
