It means "Fail To Build From Source", Debian jargon. :)

The upcoming new upstream release is supposed to fix the 64-bit bugs.
In the mean time for the actual release, some simple checks can be done
in the debian/rules file to detect the problematic architectures and
to make the build process fails on those architectures, thus avoiding
non-working debs on those architectures.

As I have a growing interest for Lisaac, Xavier told me it would be
fine for me to join the Debian maintenance team if you agree. I can
write the patch or sponsor your upload with it.

Cheers,
