Do you have a way in mind?
Are you saying that buildds should stick to unmerged /usr until we are
more confident that merged /usr buildds will not misbuild packages, as
I suggested? Or something else?
For maintainer uploads, there's a lintian tag that would have caught
the quilt bug (if maintainers run lintian before uploading, which they
should but perhaps don't), but the systemd bug was probably not feasible
to catch with static checks like that.

This seems like another indication that we are not yet ready for
merged-/usr buildds.
