Hmm. A little bit of background:

Would you apply the same reasoning to a package which fails to
build from source in every arch-dependent autobuilder but still builds
fine without the -B flag? Surely not!

The requirement "packages must autobuild" has always been one of the
release goals. The only difference is that we have now an "Arch: all"
autobuilder, but IMHO such autobuilder should not be a second-class
citizen. They should be on the same level.

Thanks.
