Sounds good to me. If the build-only could also be more verbose (i.e.
logging during build) I'd appreciate that even more.

mips, mipsel and ia64 are setup this way (but the mipsel buildd is
down since 2 days for hardware issues).

As of now, hppa and armel (besides kfreebsd*) can't be done this way,
because they have no lvm chroots yet. hppa should be available soon,
armel probably only after new hardware exists.

Yes. They used keys w/o a forced command.

mips is as of now (I enabled that yesterday before sending out the
mail, but the status page is updated only very seldom). hppa waits on
DSA right now. powerpc sometimes this week. (I sent the mail after I
reached a state where I thought "now this really works, and just needs
to be rolled out to the buildds" - what stays open is just going
through the list of arches not building now, and adding them if
possible.)

I don't mind. It doesn't take too much effort to set it up, once all
the preconditions are in place. And it's just "yet another thing
built".
