Routine testing of this sort would help to catch this sort of problem,
since always building in a clean chroot will "mask" the problem--but
clean chroots would effectively prevent this for Debian.
Just FYI, there is a patch currently being discussed on the
buildd-tools-devel list which would add union filesystem support in
addition to lvm-snapshots. This would also provide a mechanism to
always ensure a clean build (by overlaying a temporary scratch
filesystem over a clean chroot).
