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?
