A FTBFS on an architecture that has built before (and hasn't been RMed)
is a bug, and one that's policied as high severity.

A FTBFS that's not a regression is a wishlist, a porting opportunity.
And here it's not even a build failure but a failure to install b-deps.

Obviously we'd prefer thunderbird:armhf to be a thing, but unless/until it
can be fixed, talk about thunderbird addons on armhf is quite moot.
And the way b-deps are written, the moment thunderbird:armhf hits incoming
its addons get enabled in wanna-build, with no human action needed.

Build yes, work no.  The result would be a pointless package you can't use;
adding this (otherwise superfluous) build-dependency avoids having a
non-installable package in the archive.
