Yes, please file a bug against the package with severity "grave". If the package can be built on sid, but not on sarge, then also tag the bug "sarge". Which package, by the way? > 2) How does buildd handel such situation? If a package can't be compiled on the buildd then usually the package maintainer will get an FTBFS bug filed by the buildd maintainer. In some corner cases, it's possible that a package will compile on a buildd but not with "apt-get build-dep" etc., because sbuild (the core buildd program) has an implementation of dependencies different from APT's. It's also possible that a package will compile in sid but not in sarge, because the sarge testing scripts don't check build-deps. regards, -- Kevin B.
