well, I guess the fix for Debian #491909 would also be good to have.
I guess it makes sense to also have the watcher script that prints stuff
during build, as I don't want to pester our buildd admins again if the build
times out on sparc.

Oh, can you eventually open a separate bug for the SRU, so that it's not so
clattered with a lengthy history of comments? (and wrong assumptions from
myself *cough* ;))
