It would be nice to have a buildd where maintainer can upload sources for a testbuild and they get a buildd log back (and possibly the packages). How should this work? The simplest way I've thought of so far is to have a special incoming queue per arch (that can spare a buildd or idle buildd could be reused). The uploaded source is then picked up by a wanna-build and the appropriate buildd picks it up, builds it and sends the buildd log to the maintainer. For this someone would have to setup a small repository to temporarily host the sources, setup a wanna-build for it, patch buildd to send the buildd log to the maintainer instead of buildd.d.o and to remove the build debs (or they would just lay there forever). And last but not least, find buildd systems and admins willing to help. MfG Goswin PS: now that experimental has autobuilding one can upload a source there with "Architecture: powerpc" to test just that arch.
