Could you keep me in the loop of this please. (CC added)
For some time now I'm working on a mirror and build tool (now called
sourcerer, see below).
Sourcerer would greatly benefit form a unified aproach to build
package builds so I'm very intrested therin.
Should "James Troup <james@nocrew.org>" as maintainer of
sbuild/wanna-build be included in the CCs? His package should support
tweaking too so he might want to say a word or two or has ideas.
May the Source be with you.

Sourcerer has the following jobs:
- maintain a partial mirror of debian sources and base packages
(botstraping stuff). Partial as in only some archs and/or only some
packages.
- Provide a wanna-build like service. You can check what sources still
need to be mirrored or build. You can further restrict the
"to-be-build" to only installed packages for example.
- compile packages at idle times
This is where your changes and ideas come in handy. Up to know I
worked with replacing the gcc link with a script as a quick fix.
- integrate the compiled debs into a local mirror. Older debs are
cleaned out according to some user defined rules, like "keep the last
3 versions" or "keep a stable version". Sources are then in turn
cleaned out when nothing build from it remains.
