What would be nice to get

• sbuild / schroot support (as alternative to cowbuilder)
  • http://wiki.debian.org/SetupBuildServiceForWanna-build
  • https://www.mirbsd.org/cvs.cgi/contrib/hosted/tg/deb/pbuilderrc?rev=HEAD
• support adequate
  • http://packages.debian.org/sid/main/adequate
• support setting custom pbuilder options
• provide further example jobs in automated deployment scripts
  • provide test suite to verify results in automated fashion
• bzr support (generate-bzr-snapshot)
• provide generic "retrieve upstream/orig sources" support
  • origtargz from devscripts/experimental (might even deprecate usage of git-buildpackage overall)
  • debcheckout
  • https://github.com/dimitri/apt.postgresql.org/blob/master/jenkins/generate-pgapt-source
• documentation for multi-distribution scenarios
  • http://pbuilder.alioth.debian.org/#ENVVARDISTRIBUTIONSWITCH
• support fpm for projects without debian/
• dput-like support through Promoted Plugins + according upload jobs
• document the way debian/changelog is handled for snapshot vs. release builds
• support building RPMs
• support dpu-test-framework
• support eatmydata
• provide way to get rid of (slow) man-db
