  I'd love it if lintian were at a point where it would make sense to do
  that, but as a lintian maintainer, I'm afraid that it's not.  Not all
  errors are created equal, and some of them should legitimately be
  overridable.
  
  We've talked for quite a while about having finer-grained control over
  lintian messages than the current three-tier system, in part to allow
  something like this (automatic dak rejection on certain lintian errors,
  for instance), but I'm way short on time.  :/
  
  For example, to take the lintian error that started this thread, there are
  some arch: all packages in the archive with architecture-specific objects
  that at least on a cursory glance I couldn't declare wrong.  They're
  development packages for cross-compilation and the arch-specific objects
  are libraries for the target.  That seems like a legitimate case for a
  lintian override to me.
 
 Also, BIOSes for emulators are candidates for such an override.

  I know, but maybe (but that's sad if we need to do that) we should
have overrides validated by the QA people … *sigh*.

Should the override file have a justification field for each (error)
override? That would help generic DD's going through all override
files.

 override files allow comments which means giving a justification is already 
 possible. So it seems this just needs to be documented as best practice?

Don't understand what you're trying to say here. My point is that apparently 
we _had_ buildd redundancy at some point, but have lost it for some reason.
To me that indicates a problem for the project, especially when it turns out 
that the remaining buildds are incapable of keeping up by themselves.

 I think you'd better look at db.debian.org/machines.cgi to have an idea
 of the current status...

I can see the current status fine on jvw's buildd pages: those three arches 
only have a single active buildd listed when they're supposed to have two.
Also, restricted does not really tell me what the exact purpose of a 
machine is.

Ah, my mistake. I totally missed that this was about a porter machine.
So we do still need a backup/second buildd for alpha...

I believe buildd redundancy does not mean having 2+ active buildds,
but having at least one active buildd who can keep up, plus a possibly  
inactive backup buildd who could quickly be made active in case the
primary buildd fails.  So just looking at jvw's buildd pages might not
be enough, unless it displays inactive buildds as well.

(mostly considering alpha here, as apparently mips/mipsel indeed do not
have redundancy right now)
