The huge number of packages with unfulfillable dependencies is just
annoying in the buildd statistics, it's not a performance issue, correct.

What we don't have is infrastructure for automatic removal of packages
that are no longer built, because we can't easily tell why the package
is not built on an architecture -- missing build dependencies are
specifically a soft failure.
Instead, we're filing individual bugs on ftp.debian.org, and that is not
scalable.
