That's not clear. Different developers have different interpretations of what "packages must build successfully from source" means - as a minimum they need to be buildable on our official buildds, but the more differences from that we're willing to support, the more likely it is for users and developers to be able to rebuild a package successfully with changes of their choice. I think the rough consensus is "packages should build successfully on normal systems", and then we inevitably get into arguments about whether a particular system is or isn't normal.
No, I don't think that's the consensus. Policy says "must", not "should". You could probably say that the "must" only applies to "normal systems", but by using both "should" and "normal" in your characterization of "consensus", you are already deviating two steps from what Policy says. If you think Policy does not really represent the consensus, you should probably propose an amendment. Thanks.
