i switched to use debian/rules binary, debian/rules clean and
dpkg-genchanges in my script (why should dpkg-buildpackage call clean or
generate a diff or dsc file (that is turned of with -us -us i suppose) ?).

yes. but i don't know, what we can do here ? with normal compiling,
every gcc call creates a line of output. and if the package is sed-ing
some files, creating html/info/whatever documentation, we get a lot of
output.

that's not a problem. currently i scan one directory for new *.dsc
files, and build them (if they are not already in the list of *dsc files
proceded). i could change that to work with an source/ mirror of debian
packages (changing ${Incoming}/*.dsc to ${Incoming}/*/*.dsc :-).

hey, 480 packages built properly is still a good goal.
do you have log files of the other packages ? maybe a team could look at
them. most other packages will not need much work, i think.
