I still think the above is correct, even though there's already an exception found: https://reproducible.debian.net/palabos ftbfs in strech and is reproducible in sid. I'm curious to understand why, but I still think this is very rare case, not justifying notifications for *all* (or any) ftbfs in testing. I do want them to be visible though, so I've just added this to TODO: "new page with packages which ftbfs in testing but build fine on sid". cheers, Holger
