The Debian project does verify it. That doesn't mean there are no bugs,
but they're clearly bugs. And, packages FTBFS in testing are tested and

If you don't understand the way release management actually works (and
it does work), please just don't answer on mail to debian-release.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] isn't a discussion list but the role account of the
release team. It might be time to enforce that a bit more.
