Thank you for your replies.  sbuild is definitely sufficient, it's just
a bit of a drag -- you have to rename the .changes to save the
checksums, and then run sbuild a second time, and compare.  I was going
to write a shell script to do this, but then someone in #debian-devel
told me to look at reprotest.
