I'm not so sure that having two builds is really that good an idea. In almost all cases the images will be virtually identical, especially with regard to d-i. And as we're only talking about small images, the number of debs included is relatively small. However, if there are problems with an image, having new images created so quickly may cause confusion when trying to reproduce a problem: when we download an image ourselves the chance will be much bigger that it won't be the same image. If there is mirror space to spare, I'd much rather have the previous day's images available than having two sets from the same day. Just my first reaction. FJP
