I am huge fan of both building in clean environments _and_ being able
to build twice. I don't think there is any solution to this other than
testing it in an automated fashion. An sbuild or pbuilder option for
--build-twice would make testing a very simple matter.
Or a dpkg-buildpackage option, so that you don't have to implement in
each and every dpkg-buildpackage wrapper. Unfortunately #671074 wasn't
well-received by dpkg maintainers.
Does policy say anything about this?
It says that the "clean" target should work. :)
Can it in fact be deemed FTBFS if it fails the second time? I think it
should.
We've always treated "FTBFS if built twice in a row" bugs as important:
