  I wouldn't mess with the real /usr/bin/* binaries/symlinks, and would
  do something similar to what ccache does. have a look at /usr/lib/ccache.
  (so, apt-build would prepend /usr/lib/apt-build or similar to the PATH.)

  perhaps this has other drawbacks I can't think of, and must add that
  I'm completely unfamiliar with how apt-build works. but perhaps the
  above helps.
