No idea. I'd say we in the long term should use idle time on our regular 
builders to rebuild all our packages regularly into a devel-scratch repo 
(where everything gets deleted after some days), use scripts to analyze 
the packages and especially the differences against the packages in the 
repo and send a report in case of errors to the maintainer and out QA 
guys. Especially the "send the report to the maintainers directly" part 
IMHO is quite important.
