Please, parse these 'musts' as'I think it should be', or take them as
suggestions of mine.

That's ok and I don't want to put the burden on Debian Project's heads... Wait
a minute... someone wants to learn something from the latest wanna-build
sources. Can I have the master or canonical location of the cvs/svn/arch repo
containing the latest sources of wanna-build or I have to wait for alioth's
buildd-tools project to rise up ?

I'm only aware of that [1] Roger's work from these mail discussions [2].
Unfortunately [1] has been showing me error 403 for long time ago. Searching
more closely d-d archives [3] brings to me [4]... but how I am supposed to
know exactly <whatever the version is> sits on that url, without diging more
and more till meet [5]. doh.
