Well, I have now started this.  I didn't upload the debs (too slow), but
the diffs I got from the comparebuild script (see:

http://cvs.debian.org/tetex-common/comparebuild?rev=HEAD&cvsroot=tetex&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

are at 

http://people.debian.org/~frank/buildlogs/diffs/

the *.stdout files are what diff -Nur says on stdout; there was often
something on stderr, but no real errors there (mostly symlinks pointing
to *gz files which I decompressed in the comparebuild scripts, or to
files from other packages).

I'm currently building acl2, since it always FTBFS, even in unstable.
