Review of armel regression FTBFSes

[Michael Hope]

I had a quick hack with python-launchpadapi and python-apt:
 https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/BuildFailures
 https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/BuildFailures?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=ftb-dump.py

It shows all of the current build failures with links off to the build
page, build log, and a column for marking the ticket number.  The
packages are split into those that defiantly need java and those that
don't.

Not sure if it's useful but it was a fun hack.
