+1 maintenance report

I spent this Thursday and Friday on +1 rotation.

* Had a hangout with mwhudson to help work out how to tackle archive maintenance - thanks mwhudson!
* Searched through update_excuses.html for fixable issues.
* Retried builds where timeouts occurred or the archive wasn't in a good state at build time.
* Filed some bugs with update-excuse tags on packages that need symbols file updates in Debian.
* Worked out why snort was failing to build, but couldn't find any snort upstream repository to propose the fix to.
