With source-only uploads the new norm, not all packages may have a
chance to experience such an FTBFS. :)

If it helps Thomas, we could perhaps generate a classification tag for
cdbs. Together with the existing tag for the compat level, Thomas
could figure out from UDD which packages in the archive, if any,
managed to build with the troublesome combination. He could then file
bugs, although as Chris said there should be none.

Kind regards,
Felix Lechner
