Bug Description
After fixing FTBFS bugs on the newly imported orthanc-digicom and orthanc-webview packages, I got a message saying it was stuck and directing me to update_excuses.
Looking into it I saw a "has no binaries on any arch" message. The project page for those packages did show a note "Note: Some binary packages for this source are not yet published in the repository." as well as a "Pending publication" besides each arch on the "Builds" section.
update_excuses could be improved to show why the package has no binaries - in this case, publication was pending (furthermore, but I'm not sure update_excuses could fetch this information somehow, that was because they were new packages and thus were stuck in the NEW queue waiting to be approved by an archive admin).
