build\d+$ is also Ubuntu specific :)

However, we *could* standardise this but we'd need a more general consensus
that this is what we want, in particular with the Linaro guys who will be
using this feature to make Ubuntu derivatives.

Note also that we have an outstanding bug about no-change rebuilds in LP which
might make this moot though.

Yup, we're working on that. I need to fix bug 827576 first.

Thanks for the continuing feedback and sorry if I sounded ungrateful earlier -
I'm not, you just caught me at a bad time. Everyone's getting a little burned
out from working on this feature for so long.
