Dear GNOME maintainers:

Please provide an explanation for this downgrade, preferably one that
shows clearly where exactly the technical disagreement lies, as I'm
required to provide such a summary when appealing to the T.C.

Please note that "it builds ok in buildd.debian.org" is not even a
rationale that could be (mis)used here, as we have noticed those failures
in buildd.debian.org as well:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libsecret&arch=armhf&ver=0.18.5-2&stamp=1472993600
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libsecret&arch=mipsel&ver=0.18.5-2&stamp=1472990996

So no, it does not even build ok in buildd.debian.org.

Today I've retested this package in eight different autobuilders.
I've put the build logs here for everybody to see:

Summary: Tried 100 times, failed 100 times.

Thanks.
