Actually, I wonder if it's a good idea to differentiate somehow between transient bugs and architectures the package is not supposed to build on. Some kind of annotation? As for finding currently failing packages, it's a matter of looking at existing archive rebuild logs. -- u-boot problems can be solved with the help of your old SCSI manuals, the parts that deal with goat termination. You need a black-handled knife, and an appropriate set of candles (number and color matters). Or was it a silver-handled knife? Crap, need to look that up.
