Kind ftpmasters:

When a source-only upload fails to build from source in the
"Arch: all" autobuilder [1], the system seems to think that the source
does no longer provide such Arch: all packages.

As a result, it seems, new uploads of the same package go to NEW and
require manual intervention, even if the upload is precisely to fix
the bug which made the Arch: all autobuilder to FTBFS [2].

This is a catch-22. Fixing a FTBFS bug should ideally not require
manual intervention.

[1] For example, source-only upload of ekg2_1:0.4~pre+20120506.1-10
which was ACCEPTED.

[2] For example, source-only upload of ekg2_1:0.4~pre+20120506.1-11
which was the one that followed -10 and it was REJECTED.

Thanks.
