a release goal is IMHO something that needs fixes in a sweep of
packages in archive before release. This change OTOH just needs fixes
to sbuild and then some infrastructure work (deploying new sbuild/buildd
everywhere).

As the second part is already being worked on, all you need is to provide
patches to the sbuild/buildd maintainers :)
