Again: what can I do with such a list?  See the list below.

Just because it is obvious does not mean that the buildd adminstrator
does the correct thing.  kq was "uploaded" 51 days ago, trustedqsl was
"uploaded" 25 days ago, neither is in the archive.

openoffice.org has been "building" for 8 days, it only took 57 hours
on my slower than any current sparc buildd pbuilder.  kexi has been
"building" for 6 days, it took less than 2 hours.

The sparc buildd mainainter has in the past left transient build
failures lie for over 6 months.  For the past year he's been requeuing
all maybe-failed packages every 1-3 months.



I've gone through the list of "maybe-failed" packages on sparc again.
The first sections is the packages that shouldn't be attempted on
sparc.  Two packages need requeued now that bugs in other packages are
fixed.  Several packages need to be put in dep-wait, and of course
there is a large list that should be moved to failed.  If nothing
useful is done with this list, don't expect me to repeat the work
again.
