Anything that could be automated, so yes of course. I'll just add that
to my scripts already now, it shouldn't hurt.

I can add the amd64 one tonight.

I hope I don't forget to inform you - I'm keen on gettting it done
because we'll get experimental at the same time.

We didn't finally discuss it yet, but I would like if we could just
use $arch at buildd.d.o like for it. As of today, please continue to keep

admin could fix all by himself.)
