Howdy, Suppose you're a debian developer with limited time each week for Debian. You get a bug report because your package fails to build on architecture X. When you have your 2 hour window to sit down and fix things, you log in to one of the project machines of the appropriate architecture, apt-get your sources, chroot into sid, and discover that one of the build-dependencies is missing. There's no way to debug the build problem: by the time you find the right address to email about adding the build-dependency, your time window is up and the issue is forgotten for another week or month.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could simply "sudo apt-get install ...." yourself? Is it feasible to have at least some of the sid chroots allow this? Alternatively, how about "sudo pbuilder login ..."?
