(Still learning my buildbot mojo.) One idea would be to do what
Mozilla's Tinderbox does: they have one set of builds that are
incremental and one set that are full. Actually looking around on
tinderbox.mozilla.org I could only find incremental builds so I'm not
sure what they are doing.

To wipe out the build occassionally you could (presumably) add a
starting step to the Python 'builder' (in the build master.cfg) to 
    rm -rf $builddir
every, say, Sunday night.
