success = failure

I started autobuilding the archive again on MIPS after my last attempt a while ago (which I never finished due to the lack of time). While my machine was building packages, I was away for a few days and so I didn't notice that something went wrong causing the strip command to fail. Obviously, this resulted in hundreds of failed builds. However, among the failures there were some successfully built packages. I investigated why they were successful when in fact they shouldn't have been. It was pretty weird to look for "successful" builds among all the failures to see those which went wrong. In any case, I found some packages which simply don't need to run strip, packages which should be Architecture: all, and I noticed that debmake doesn't seem to abort when one of the programs it calls fails, thereby leading to "successful" builds…
