I'm not sure.  My time is limited and I don't think I have time to 
research haskell binNMUs on
other architectures  On hppa, I tend to trigger rebuilds without doing 
any research as to why
any given haskell package is missing.  Some people don't like the lack 
of info in the rebuild comment.

I also worry that the timing of binNMUs will vary from one arch to another.

I'm sure the script will be very helpful.  Could it run as a cron job 
and email results?  That
would save considerable time.
