Should be done now.

Also, while we are at it, I see that the build failures you shared are
on not-very-usual archs (loong, riscv64 etc ...). I would not call
arch-specific FTBFS as newcomer task at all. Some of these actually
(for example badger) look difficult to wade through.

For most cases, even to repro it, one would either need a guest account
to access porter boxes or use sbuild+qemu to test it. Furthermore, fixing
arch-specific FTBFS would need more knowledge and experience to diagnose
architecture specific stuff. Even now, after being a DD for a few years,
I feel some arch-specific issues very difficult to debug at times, and I
often find that I am not the only one (for example, #1112166).

So I would not call it as a good starting point to be honest.
Probably starting with simple to debug and fix build failures (on all arches)
is a good point to start contributing.

But, YMMV, ofcourse.
