No, it can't tell when a package failed to compile (or is otherwise missing from the ftp site) for an unexpected reason. It looks like the link I pointed you to does filter out 'expected' failures (of which frontpage is one), but the link you pointed me to does not. This is probably a simple omission in the affected scripts, so you should submit a PR pointing to both URLs and noting the difference.
