Well, it was a good exercise in 'why did they invent sbuild' if nothing
else.

It's already sent to -devel-changes by dinstall (i.e. the moment it's
actually installed in the master archive).
Regarding 'check what's available' - is there any public access script
(cgi or otherwise) to query the master archive on the exact version
installed for a particular architecture? The pathetic 'Search Package
Directories' interface doesn't qualify, or course (try searching for any
non-i386 package for instance).
