FWIW, I have rewritten the buildd side in Python
(https://salsa.debian.org/pkern/pybuildd) and am currently waiting for
that to be deployed. There were concerns about how DSA wanted this to
be
packaged (essentially not at all). Replacing the buildd side with
something relatively simple to understand is somewhat a prerequisite
to
change the wanna-build side...
