A documentation of all states should appear on
http://git.debian.org/?p=mirror/wanna-build.git;a=tree soon.

it usually is - this code part doesn't retry, so in case there is an
error, the package stays within building for some more time. Also, on
most debian.org-machines, auto-signing is now in place, i.e. the
package is uploaded quite soon after building completed.

I think we dropped that from the buildd side (because it makes life
easier there)

It was, while ftp-master was IIRC raff. That was changed when
ftp-master moved to spohr, and wanna-build stayed on raff. (I might
mix up the hostnames - if someone points me to an ordered list where
ftp-master was, I can probably say when the split happened.)
