If we now have buildds that are more restrictive or limited than
the buildds that were used at the time stable was frozen, then
it would probably be good if it was possible to arrange for only
testing/unstable/experimental packages to be built on those buildds,
with stable updates built on buildds that more closely resemble the ones
they were originally tested on - otherwise we'll get random build
regressions.

If I prepare a test .dsc based on flatpak/1.2.5-0+deb10u4 with more
debug info, would it be possible for someone to force it to be built
against stable dependencies on x86-conova-01, keep the logs and discard
the built result?
