I'd be happy to assist you getting it to run on jenkins.d.n, which is now a 15 
core / 30gb host, which can easily get a job configured testing this every 
three months (or whenever) on half the ressources or so....

Please read the existing documentation (about link etc) and ping me (best via 
(#)debian-qa) for further kickstarting help..!


cheers,
	Holger
