This is what it says: Packages must autobuild without failure on all
architectures on which they are supported.

Do you mean that because it is not supported on amd64, it does not
need to build on the Arch:all autobuilder? (which runs amd64).


Also: Is there any particular reason why this is a normal bug and
the other bug (Bug#861605: pixfrogger) has been closed?

They are exactly the same bug (but in different packages).

Could you *please* at least be consistent on that? Either we accept
that a package which FTBFS on the Arch:all autobuilder is a bug, or we
don't. If we do, both are bugs (of whatever severity), if we don't,
neither of them is a bug, and this one should be closed as well.

Thanks.
