One obvious problem is that there is no documented contact address (just search for "buildd" on http://www.debian.org/intro/organization). One has to know by some magic who is responsible for which architecture. One recent example where I had problems with buildd administration is http://bugs.debian.org/340279 First mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is the addres on the buildd logs) on Nov. 22, mail to debian-admin with Cc to debian-hppa on the same day, a mail to debian-admin with further information on Nov 25, one more on Nov 27. No visible reaction whatsoever, just the problems went away. Either someone fixed the buildd. If this has happened, he should have told us that we need not wait for the debug info we requested, but instead can close the RC bug on our package (or not, we don't know what the reason was). Or the problem went away by itself. In the latter case, I must assume it was a hardware problem, and it's only a question of time until the next package fails, and of some more time until sarti becomes unavailable completely.
