No, I won't stop stating the truth.

This is _your_ interpretation of Debian Policy and there are people who
disagree with it. Not every build failure is automatically release
critical because we can't support all setups in existence hence the
separation between release architectures and ports. The same goes for
every custom build environment. You are trying hard to push this agenda
on -devel but maybe you should also read when other people disagree with
your agenda or refute your 99 % build failure claim e.g. [1] [2]

You are expecting other people sharing your opinion and doing the work
for you. This is antisocial.

You don't know if the root cause was in the package. The package simply
tries to initialize SDL on the host system. This has always worked in
the past, so there is certainly the possibility that the bug is not in
ri-li which might be only _affected_ by it.
