We've been waiting based on Neuro's advice that sometimes Arm bugs are difficult to test for. The buildd is broken in that it appears to select the wrong header. Because all I have is a remote account on an Arm box, I can't test X - which is one of the big ones I test before I upload an arch without consulting a porter first. Debussy built -6 just fine. I haven't tested since then, but the changes were really small. I'll start a build on Debussy now. I can do inital chroot jail testing, but I'd really like someone to test it running an X client.
