Hi Moritz,

Just wanted to check - are you happy to prod the buildd maintainers
into making sure that debhelper >= 9.20120312 is installed, or should
I? I'd like to make sure that the changes I've got queued up don't
get forgotten about.

(Is there even a way to get interrogate the buildds to get the current
set of installed packages, or a policy about how often they should
update from unstable?)

Thanks,
Dominic.
