wanna-build and buildd have been modified a while back to be able to do
binNMU's. The only human involvement is when a given package is marked
in the database as 'requires a binNMU', and when the buildd admin later
signs the package, as usual.
If the package then fails to install, that is indeed a problem; but not
something our current processes can handle before the fact.
