Building in a clean environment with pbuilder is certainly worth the
additional build time.

Yes, I'm willing to move my changes to the pkg-grass VCS. As also
mentioned in reply to Alan Boudreault on pkg-grass-devel@ [1], I'd like
to base my changes on those Alan made for Ubuntu. But so far I've not
heard back.

I'm not in a hurry, I'd rather do it right than do it fast. I'll send a
direct mail to the mapserver uploaders to hopefully get a conversation
going that way since using the lists doesn't appear to work well.
If I don't hear anything in a week, I'll start merging my changes into
git.debian.org. Does that sound reasonable, or am I too impatient?
Regards,
Bas
