Package hasn't been uploaded for one or more architectures,
http://www.debian.org/devel/testing under "My package is stalled because it's out of date on some architecture. What do I do?"
Check the buildd logs ( http://buildd.debian.org ) for failures and queue status (see http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ ).

Other resources (todo/links to find)?
- debian-installer (d-i) info?
- Answer "Release Candidate" means? (i.e. britney qualifications list)
- Relate info above to availability and temporary problems (was in early revisions of this page?)
- Relate above info to new or critical uploads (was in early revisions of this page?)
- It'd be nice to show packages that have a large tree of reverse dependencies (like flac, openldap, shadow...).
