Here is my activity on release critical bugs for 2012/16:
#666606 - okumura-clsfiles: FTBFS: I can't find the format file `ptex.fmt'!
Build the package locally. texlive-lang now builds a transitional dummy package ptex-bin.

#666663 - pymecavideo: FTBFS: /bin/sh: 4: inkscape: not found
Triage the bug. librsvg (2.36.0-2) reverts upstream commit which dropped the "rsvg" script until all reverse dependencies are fixed. This is tracked in #666481 for pymecavideo.
