Actually, doing it in sbuild (and hence hypothetically on the buildds) would 
be awesome:
 - deinstall build-depends
 - install previous version (+ dependencies), then upgrade
 - remove
 - purge
 - …

A failure at each of these stages could fail the build.

(The problem becomes tricky with source packages building mutually-
incompatible binary packages).

Cheers,

OdyX

P.S. I'd be interested in getting something along those lines working but am 
not sure to have enough time on my hands, unfortunately.
