I better do not sign this email, but I really thought there was a mere 
deinstallation by the buildds. Otherwise the deinstallation would be only for 
extra security, but for that, only the just created deb would have to be 
installed which it never is. This is how I interpreted the logs like these:
http://experimental.ftbfs.de/fetch.php?&pkg=gammu&ver=1.05.00-4&arch=kfreebsd-i386&stamp=1143988918&file=log&as=raw

So, in the end, is it a buildd that we really want?

I do not know if I am kidding or not. Running cran2deb on all platforms may be 
far easier than maintaining several buildds.
