Trust me, you don't really want that. A lot of failures usually work
out to be the build daemon's fault, and mailing them would just
generate a lot of extra work for buildd admins (responding to comments
on all of them). The daemon has a tendency to get wedged and fail a
hundred builds.
I'm really tempted to start mailing SOME logs though... like heyu, the
package with the twelve gigabyte build log when run without a
terminal...
