If you just want to rebuild all packages once, you don't need
wanna-build. Just parse the Source files and get the list of (package,
version) you want to build. Then use pbuilder or sbuild to build them
all.
My preference goes to sbuild, because it's closer to what is really
running on the buildds (so you get less false positives). But pbuilder
should probably suit your needs as well.
Good luck,
