Most buildds are set to purge on success so you can go in and
poke around after a failure.

It was my bug report and I've tarred up the failed build and sent
a msg to Stefano.
If anyone is interested, the wanna-build CVS is at
http://m68k.debian.org. sbuild is the real workhorse. It's not
trivial to set up; in fact, you really need a reference system to
get it working properly in a reasonable amount of time.
But at its core it's just a chroot with the essential and
build-essential packages installed, doing builds with
dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo -B -uc -us
