I feel like I've answered this question a thousand times.... There is a build daemon now, but only for potato, and I do not have time to fix all of its failures by hand. There are also packages which build but present warnings which indicate serious problems, and I mark to look at later. I've posted the list a few times. No one else seems quite inspired enough to look at them, either.
Non-us is a whole other problem - I have not yet established if I can legally upload to non-us under the crypto regs, and Hartmut has not had time for his buildd lately.
