No, because that's damn silly. a) packages can and often are rejected
from Incoming for any number of reasons, we don't have the CPU power
to waste cycles on pointless compiles, b) we do not do unsupervised
auto-compiling (at the very least a human looks at the logs for all
builds; generally new packages will be tested, if possible. Uploading
if dpkg-buildpackage didn't die (as you imply) *is* unsupervised)).
Such automation (silly as it is) would be absolutely trivial to
implement, it's not implemented because I don't think it's the right
thing to do.

Martin, you obviously know nothing about our build process, so please
don't pretend you do.
