Indeed, it seems like it is not "automated" yet, let me quote:
* experimental is not, and will not be, automatically built by our
standard buildd infrastructure. Instead, you should ask other
developers who own machines of the various architectures to
do a build for you; please wait for your source upload to hit
the mirrors, and include the package name, version, and a list
of any dependencies that should be satisfied from experimental
rather than unstable in your request.
We hope that eventually we'll be able to incorporate this
mechanism into the standard buildd infrastructure, but it's
expected experimental will only ever be built-on-request.
On-request experimental builders are encouraged to make an
unsigned .changes file, a build log, and, ideally, the finished
build tree (with .o files, etc) available to the maintainer
along with the compiled .debs, rather than uploading straight to
the archive.
Developer accessible porting machines are listed at
http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi, and unstable chroots are
available for almost all architectures. Contact debian-admin
about any packages you need installed.
Which means, to me, that all we need is some cooperation from
people that have access to such machines (or we could use the
developer accessible machines to collectively build the packages).
Michel, from what I got in his signature works on debian-powerpc,
so he could help building the packages for ppc, and so on.
It is possible, we just need proper cooperation/coordenation.
