It's quite a long time since I dream of such a beast, with the goal to
be able to provide "daily" builds with all translation updates that
are synced by the regular l10n-sync jobs....instead of waiting for a
package to be uploaded for translators to be able to see their
translations.

I have to admit I haven't looked at your script and didn't compare it
with buildscript pointed by Frans, but may I risk a remark:

The script currently builds all packages for the said architecture,
but what will it do with those packages?

I'd suggest trying to build special netboot-style images with all
udebs included, of course, if that's technically feasible.
