This option.

m68k and powerpc have build daemons which scan for new packages and
compile them.  Other architectures are either in the process of
switching or considering switching.

This is a possibility for at least m68k, powerpc and alpha (kullervo,
tervola and faure @ debian.org), but unless you specifically want to
or need to, I wouldn't bother.

We're in the process of switching (to exim for master; va has already
been done, murphy is problematic, none of the other machines ever used
qmail), but it's a non-trivial exercise as we've been using qmail for
a long time and a lot of stuff relies on it.
