+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/01/msg00760.html">\

+reasons of why these restrictions have been put in place: (1) reproducibility;

+buildd-ing considered potentially harmful.  The message also contains details
+of why are the current set of restrictions in place, in the case of arm it was
+a response of uploads from emulated buildds and alpha because of the relocation
+of main buildd.</p>
