What would help save many hours on slow systems is having a script
automatically set "Dep-Wait: libbfoo (>> 1.2-3)" for all new sources
according to Build-Depends to prevent useless buildd attempts and
failures and manual work to retry them.

An attempt to build something big can take 3-4 hours to install
Build-Depends, see they aren't sufficient and to purge them again.
