Is this the right list to discuss problems building debs from source?

I am trying to build the .debs of kde from current cvs (or rather last nights) 
- - one to try and see if I can, and two so I can get latest versions in the 
quickest possible time

In essence, I have a debian/sarge system running as my main home server which 
has most spare disc space - but building the latest debs seems to need 
packages from unstable.  In order to overcome this problem, I have build a 
completely new debian unstable system in a spare directory by using 
dbootstrap and then chrooting into this newly created debian/unstable system.  

It seems to work well, and using it I have been able to build all the debs 
from qt-copy and arts and kdelibs by "cvs checkout" of the module, "cd" into 
the directory and then "dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc"

Having built the debs in each of these modules I installed them in my chrooted 
system - as they form a base for what follows.

However, I am now having problems with kdebase and kdeadmin

It seems that kdebase needs libdb2-dev whilst kdeadmin needs libdb3-dev.  
These two packages are incompatible with one another so I end up have to 
remove 1 to install the other - making it impossible to build the two 
packages together (I ssh into the server box, change to root and then chroot 
into this directory - I do this twice from two separate konsole windows on 
another workstation).

Also kdebase is failing during the ./configure phase thus

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (library qt-mt) 
not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

but according to dselect libqt3-mt-dev is installed at version 
3.1+rc2.cvs20021101-1
as is libqt3c-mt (note the c showing built with gcc3.2) at the same version 

Unfortunately there is no sign of config.log in the kdebase directory for me 
to try and see what went wrong.  Does the debian build process leave it 
elsewhere?
