I don't have any time to work on this, but it occurred to me reading this
that it might be useful for QA purposes to have a version of debuild that
*unsanitizes* the environment to test robustness. An evil-debuild that
sets every problematic environment variable that it can think of (TAPE,
QUILT_PATCHES, LANG, LC_ALL, PWD, etc.), builds the source in a directory
name containing a space, and otherwise tries all the environmental things
that have broken packages in the past.
