Only possible if the .changes file is still accessable, and going through
the d-d-c archives isn't exactly convenient.

On that score, the description for d-d-c says that it includes buildd logs,
but a quick scroll through doesn't appear to find any.  Are they sent
somewhere else now, or am I just going blind?  Certainly, if we're going to
be verifying binary packages from the .changes files, we need to have all of
the buildd .changes files available in an archive *somewhere*.
