Why is it?
Every once in a while, people post to debian-mentors about their package failing to build on the buildd for some architecture they don't have access to. It'd be nice to get automated complaints about that before buildd time.
This does not need to be part of the "core" Debian Mentors architecture; someone could just automatically grab all the .dsc files and spend CPU cycles emulating every architecture we have and building some packages and posting the log. (I'm willing to use my cycles for that, for example.)
