sbuild already supports running piuparts at the end of a build,
just as it supports running lintian. However, AIUI it does require
it to be set up beforehand. It would be really nice if it could
re-use the build chroot for its tests, or we could snapshot a second
test chroot for it. It would be great if you could just add
--run-puiparts and have it just work with no prior setup required.
If we do require piuparts to pass in order for packages to be
accepted into unstable, and we do have a pre-unstable staging of
uploads before sanity-checking them, then we can get one or more
of the buildds to run puiparts as a standard part of the build,
and we can make it fail the build if puiparts fails. This wouldn't
be too hard to implement.
