Not really holding a grudge; the problem was only just resolved yesterday. In a week, it would be forgotten.

I'm not saying "screw the port"; I'm saying "help sorting through the failed-build packages may well be wasted work." There may be plenty of other things that are not wasted work. But until the port maintainers figure out a way to not toss work, is it really churlish of me to say I'm not so much interested in doing that work myself? I don't want to see a hundred Debian developers each process two of these packages, and have all that labor wasted.
