Ugh, well I wouldn't want to end up with flipflopping bugs, but to
grab the points from that mail...

 * The subject doesn't tell you it is a recipe build.

  - I'm not sure why this matters? - and the current header doesn't
tell us that either.

 * the subject doesn't identify the recipe uniquely or the PPA. If you
have a lot of recipes this could get confusing

  - my proposed header does identify the PPA uniquely, and the package
+ PPA should tell folk what to look at, if they are uploading both
source packages and recipes to the same PPA with the same packagename
- well, gun, foot, trigger.

 * The body is rather terse and doesn't tell me much about what happened.

 - I'm totally fine with the body we have now.

 * It is needlessly incosistent with what you get for binary builds.

 - What we have for binary builds is pretty darn ugly too :)

What do you think? were my suggestions useful? Do you enjoy reading
recipe emails at the moment?
