Hi, Thanks for the interest. However, at this point, I think the dh sequencer have eliminated most of these bugs. The only method we have for tracking this, will almost certainly end up creating false positives for manual "retry-build-without-clean" builds (not entirely uncommon for debugging). I think the best solution is to simply close this bug, recommending people to use the dh-sequencer or cdbs over manually listing dh commands. This also have various other benefits like being able to add new or retire old dh_commands easier. Thanks, ~Niels
