Hi,
the buildds and wanna-build are managed by a different team:

The buildds don't use the default dependency resolver, but switched to
the aspcud-based resolver recently. I don't know what issues it might
cause (though I had some locally where it installed an ancient
debhelper version left over in a local repository even though the
current one could just be installed fine).
