What would help save many hours on slow systems is having a script automatically set "Dep-Wait: libbfoo (>> 1.2-3)" for all new sources according to Build-Depends to prevent useless buildd attempts and failures and manual work to retry them. An attempt to build something big can take 3-4 hours to install Build-Depends, see they aren't sufficient and to purge them again.
