It's quite a long time since I dream of such a beast, with the goal to be able to provide "daily" builds with all translation updates that are synced by the regular l10n-sync jobs....instead of waiting for a package to be uploaded for translators to be able to see their translations. I have to admit I haven't looked at your script and didn't compare it with buildscript pointed by Frans, but may I risk a remark: The script currently builds all packages for the said architecture, but what will it do with those packages? I'd suggest trying to build special netboot-style images with all udebs included, of course, if that's technically feasible.
