We are aiming to package it.  You can find it at git.debian.org:

  git clone git://git.debian.org/git/buildd-tools/buildd.git

However, it's not ready for actual use yet.

Yes.  This is a place where there is some ugliness.  Ideally, we
should fix the options so that there is a sane way of expressing the
auto-give-back stuff which works with Getopt::Long.  This might also
include modifying the buildd code to pass slightly different options
to avoid this.

Packaging buildd properly has been on my TODO list for quite some
time.  Due to divergence from the old sbuild codebase, buildd won't
work smoothly with the sbuild in unstable.  It will need some work to
get a fully working system.

In the meantime, the sbuild provided with buildd should work for you,
i.e. not the one in unstable.
