No-one replied before, but we are willing to host a build machine for 
Alpha here.  We have several machines we could use - we have several 
sizeable machines approaching the end of their maintenance contracts 
which we will not want to use for production work once that time 
arrives.  I don't foresee much difficulty putting one or two of them in 
our DMZ for Debian's use.

Somebody just has to tell me what we need to do...
