As mentioned in a previous message I think that the results for all this can 
already be found in the build daemon results:
http://buildd.debian.org/

The stats page http://buildd.debian.org/stats/ shows the statistics of how 
many packages build on each platform (over 90% for every platform), and 
allows querying which packages don't build for each platform.

I get the impression that the main developers are in France and Germany, maybe 
a meeting of FCPU people in the Netherlands would be a good.  I could 
probably arrange some free and some cheap accomodation in Amsterdam...
If a meeting was held to co-incide with a local computer users group then in 
return for a presentation they would probably put some money towards train 
fares.

Let me know if there's interest in this.
