Under Debian, the following three commands rebuild the package, exactly
as originally built, for any package in the Debian main archive:
# apt-get build-dep package
$ apt-get source package
$ cd package-version ; dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

So, in a way, yes, Debian did in fact solve this problem.
