The confusion is even higher if you consider a fix in a package that
FTBFS on only some architectures, and the reporter happens to use an
architecture affected by this new bug.

In the end, launchpad would need to track architectures for each
bug. Which is a distro specific concern that doesn't fit in a general
purpose bugtracker like launchpad.
