It's actually a subversion repository, and it's at
<http://svn.cyberhqz.com/svn/wanna-build>, as documented on
<http://buildd.debian.org>

Many build daemons run stable rather than unstable, so running the
sbuild package from unstable on those is going to be cumbersome, at
best. Using the unstable package would require yet another step (getting
it through you) after updating the code; currently, the db.d.o
repository is updated by Ryan Murray, who also maintains the code
itself. Additionally, buildd and sbuild work in fairly close
cooperation, and using sbuild from one place and buildd from another
(buildd isn't in unstable) would require being, uh, quite careful.
Besides, buildd is not arch:all, so would need a recompile and backport
for stable anyway.

They were, originally. Ryan's been very active on it since, and it's
diverged a bit from the code you're maintaining.
I personally see the packages in unstable as something good for
end-users who want to use it, or understand how the system works; but
for Debian's purposes, it's not optimal.
