Nice plan. I think it's simply time to fork sbuild. I think buildd folks
is not interested in applying large changes to the current
in-production infrastructure. I would not mind of that. 
Having a client-server arch for sbuild seems moving into sbuild
some (and potentially all) features currently available in w-b.
I would avoid to add features to sbuild in the sense of a queue manager,
but surely the whole arch of w-b could be better designed to enforce
security.
