yes, i believe so.

so if you'd like to get the information (along with possibly more)
from pbuilder, i'm guessing that placing it in the output of
the pbuilder command would not make a lot of sense given how
much unrelated output is produced.

so, what if at the completion (or failure) of a build, pbuilder
dumped the "important" information in shell syntax into a temp
file inside the chroot, and then copied the file outside of the
chroot into the /var/cache/pbuilder/result directory to a
predictable location?  pdebuild and other tools could then
source this file to get the full information about build results,
architectures, etc.
