I think buildd and bitbake are both useful for different use cases.
buildd is fine if you want to produce a binary distribution from time to
time. If you want to build often, bitbake is, IMHO, a better
alternative. I'm still going to look at that (and that, unfortunately,
since quite some time). In the long term, I'd like to see a bitbake
backend understanding the debian/ directory.
But what is your point? Are you going to work on that?
With kind regards,
