Thanks, help is welcomed. You might have seen there are two categories,
Build-Attempted and Failed. The first one is where packages which fails
to build land. It can be moved to Failed by a DD having access to
wanna-build with a comment.

I have started to put the known failures with a bug number, but if some
others can help with matching a build failure with a bug number that
would be great. Of course if there is no bug in the BTS, it's a good
idea to debug it and report a new bug with a patch.

The schroot can be created from the debian-archive with debootstrap
using any of the official mirror. Once the chroot is created, it's also
a good idea to add the following entry to /etc/apt/sources.list to get 
the packages as soon as they get uploaded:

  deb http://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd buildd-unstable main

Indeed!
