one question: why?

And re: why running screen as root:

holger at piatti:~$ sudo su - piupartss
piupartss at piatti:~$ screen
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check.

http://dbadump.blogspot.de/2009/04/start-screen-after-sudo-su-to-another.html 
show some other possible solutions, but as running piuparts implies basically 
implies having root I opted for the easiest approach, running screen as root.

But yes, I'd like to see this improved.

And I also like the multiple slave goal for 0.50! piatti will move to a 
virtual machine in future and then I would like to start running an i386 slave 
as well, to test i386 only packages.


cheers,
	Holger
