Hi Lucas,

[Release Team member hat on]

I always appreciate your QA work on rebuilding Debian, but I'm wondering 
what the value is of filing out-of-memory FTBFS bugs on a 32 bit 
architecture for source packages that only builds arch:all binaries. 
arch:all binaries in Debian are build on 64 bits architectures with more 
memory space than the 32 bits architectures, so I don't think it's worth 
the stress of the maintainers (of arch:all binaries only sources) to 
look into out-of-memory FTBFS RC problems on low address space systems 
(in this case it looks like assumptions in a test, but still). Related, 
arch:all only source packages have no way to avoid you trying to build 
on i386. Can you please share your opinion?

I haven't demoted the severity of the (currently one) bug I spotted just 
yet, to enable you to respond, but as you can see from my response, I'm 
inclined to do that.

Paul
