Waiting until a module build has failed to fix it sucks, imho.

It's one thing to have internal mass rebuilds create FTBFS reports. It's
another to have users and downstream distributions notice this and force them
to create bug reports to have these fixed. It creates busy work for them and
conveys low packaging quality.

The same thing happens if you add a BR because of a FTBFS. There's no guarantee
that it will not beome useless at some point in time.
