may be of some interest.[1] Also, please coordinate what you're
compiling with myself and, Franky
<Frank.Neumann@informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> (and CTS were he around)
so as to avoid duplication of effort.  {As you may or may not have
noticed, I've started abusing kullervo by getting it to compile
everything in sight, so it's a real possibility that any compilation
would overlap}

Yes.  

<URL:ftp://debian.nocrew.org/pub/debian-all/debbuild.sh>

has an option to do this munging automagically, and may be of some
interest to you anyway[1].

[1] Sorry for constantly plugging my own things, if something else
