It would be rather odd to make a bug in a non-release architecture the reason to not release a specific package for all architectures. That said, if the package maintainer feels the particular bug actually should result in the removal of this package from testing for all architectures, then by all means mark it serious. However, in this case, the best thing to do is just to mark the actual bug which broke libtool (#814271) as affecting the other packages, and help the non-release architecture buildds update the versions, fixing whatever bugs are causing them not to be updated. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com [I]t's true that some of the most terrible things in the world are done by people who think, genuinely think, that they're doing it for the best, especially if there is some god involved. -- Terry Pratchett _Snuff_ p185
