Comment 5 for bug 1672545

I think showing "ftbfs" bugs could be beneficial for Debian as well thus it does not have to be part of the delta. Debian's script would collect the FTBFS buts from Debian's BTS, that is not a huge difference IMO.

I agree that Ubuntu devs should be able to find bugs of "foo" when "foo" is blocked, but sometimes (many times as I saw) the bug is not in "foo" but in a transitive dependency and the build/test log is not always verbose enough to figure out from the first glance what goes wrong.

Avoiding the mission creep is a valid concern, but IMO update_excuses is actually one of the very important stops where people spend time to look for blocker issues and providing them a good set of pointers helps eliminating duplicate work.
