That is in fact a good suggestion. It's too late now for teTeX-3.0; but for the next upstream release, or a possible switch to texlive, we'll definitely keep the other version around. > As for auto-building some sections of archive in sid environment but > overriding some packages with ones from experiment or local archive, I > think pbuilder should be useful.

But it's not very useful if you want to autobuild more than a couple of packages; setting up a real buildd is the method of choice here, but it isn't as trivial as pbuilder, it takes more machine power, bandwidth, and of course in the end you need to process all those packages...
