I'm *hoping* to switch over to new machines for buildds before buster, yes. The exact choice of timing will be up to DSA and the release team, though. If we'd found too many packages showing problems in this configuration, we'd be looking to hold back or re-evaluate the plans but so far I think we look OK. I'd be happy to help debug as much as I can here, but the lack of info in the core file is a bit of a hurdle up-front! -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
