Bug Description
The title may be confusing, but let me make this clear:
Suppose I upload a source package P to PPA, which can be built for one architecture but fails for another. However in this case PPA would accept it for all the architectures.
One example I've found is https:/
Currently for the 'gimp' package, version 2.7.3-2011042102~nn is available for i386, but not for amd64 due to build failure.
'apt-cache showpkg' shows the installed version 2.7.3-201103160
1. 'apt-get source' will download a source package that won't build.
2. 'apt-build build' won't find a proper source package because of the versions mismatch.
(I guess it is the repository that should ensure the source packages are buildable, otherwise this would be a bug of apt-build)
