From the announcement to d-a today:
|  * Discard and rebuild of binary packages uploaded by maintainers,
|    leaving only packages build in a controlled environment

The team may want to request an exception for this for kernel udebs.

Although kernel udebs built with mass-build should in theory build 
correctly when rebuilt "normally", there are two reasons why we might not 
want that:

- massbuild allows us to control *exactly* which kernel version the udebs
  are build against which helps avoid out-of-sync problems; if they would
  be rebuilt on a buildd, we'd lose some of the control we currently have.
- massbuild allows us to built against kernels that are not yet or no
  longer available in unstable, which has been very useful in the past.

Note that I do not plan to follow up on this myself.

Cheers,
FJP
