I would prefer to see tools that assisted the package-creation process.

Look at all of those files in binary-m68k!. Many were built for the 68k
for the first time by Debian maintainers. We need the capability to build
all packages from source automaticaly so that we can maintain the
multi-architecture nature of the system.
