Either:

After a clone:

  gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder

Or:

  gbp buildpackage --git-builder='sbuild'

(gbp is git-buildpackage)

sbuild / pbuilder (practically: cowbuilder). It's not exactly isolation.
But a chroot is good enough for my packages. pbuilder is simpler to set
up and use, but sbuild allows more flexibility.

Mini-buildd is nice if it fits your workflow. We started using it, but
eventually moved on. It's a great start if you have no idea what are all
the different bits.

We're currently using scriptology based mostly around buildbot. Using it
to build both RPMs and debs. Currently still using the default web
interface.
