One thing that might be done is to compare the builds to a build in pbuilder which is a minimal set of debian tools. 

Also, I would like to do some testing of maemian on the built packages - just to see what sort of data there is an how to go about making maemian more friendly to developers. You've given me a login to your machine so I assume you don't mind me doing this but I thought I would ask you first. I would also like to make the maemian logs visible as well. Is that okay?

Warm regards,
