I think buildd and bitbake are both useful for different use cases. buildd is fine if you want to produce a binary distribution from time to time. If you want to build often, bitbake is, IMHO, a better alternative. I'm still going to look at that (and that, unfortunately, since quite some time). In the long term, I'd like to see a bitbake backend understanding the debian/ directory. But what is your point? Are you going to work on that?
