That's interesting - hadn't discovered that tool before. Just did a quick
run, and while it would catch some issues, it would still not catch the
install dependency problems I outlined in the first email (unless I
manually sandboxed, cleared all the debs and reinstalled individual package
dependencies inbetween each isolated build).
