I'm sure that if you give us a patch for that, we'll be happy to use it. I suggest you file a bug against buildd.debian.org. > It would also be nice to distinguish between failures at the package > installation time, and failures that happen inside dpkg-buildpackage.

From which arch/buildd are you seeing that? We do atleast see the difference between those, and they do get reacted on differently by the current buildd/sbuild package that we use.
