Okay; there're 11 of such packages AFAICS. I hope you'll be able to file
the bugs at some point in the future, though it's not the most urgent of
tasks.

I see.

I suggest you provide me with the list of packages that succeeded, so
that I can schedule Bin-NMUs at least for those.

I could also schedule all of them, and trust that the buildd admins will
file the bugs for the failures. Or is there some deeper investigation
that it's good to perform for each of the failures?

Heh, I see. Well let's get rid of 1.34 first, by rebuilding against
1.38, and go from there, ack?
