Comment 4 for bug 191701

I would not be in favour of failing such builds. It's common enough in Ubuntu for something to be auto-synced prematurely which is just waiting for one of its build-dependencies to get through Debian NEW so that we can have it, or perhaps to be waiting for an Ubuntu developer to perform a merge. It's actively helpful for builds to stay in dep-wait so that they're easy to find, and it does no harm; in fact it's better categorisation than failed, which could be almost anything. I don't really see why the situation is much different for PPAs: dep-wait does no harm and is a clearer categorisation.

To be honest, I'd prefer this bug to be Won't Fix.
