Hearing no objections, and several +1's,  bugs are starting to be
filed as we speak.  Affected packages should get a new bug, plus up to
4 attachments (build.log and root.log for each of i386 and x86_64 if
it failed there).  It _should_ send only a single email on the
creation of the bug, but not for the attachments.

If you already have a bug filed which blocks FTBFS, or recursively,
anything that blocks something that blocks FTBFS (such as the gcc 4.3
rebuild blocker), a new bug will not be filed.

Thanks,
Matt
