... while it could be, right?
(question to the buildd / sbuild gurus)

This difference of treatment between binary and source stanzas has
always puzzled me, but I'm not sure whether there is some deep
technical reason for that, or rather is just that the current buildd
implementations don't do that.

If there is no profound reason, it looks like a good candidate to be
uniformed, doesn't it?

Cheers.
