Yeah, been thinking about that, while considering what would be good
to merge back (I probably missed it on the TODO update :).

The problem with that one is that we cannot enable it by default (yet),
as that would not play nice with debuild, I don't think sbuild would be
a big problem but it's doing logging by itself, and it migth want to be
able to at least disable that, to avoid doing double logging, which
might be significant on multi MiB log packages.

Hmm, we should probably not clean some of the build related ones,
related to Robert Luberda's message on 476100.

IIRC Frank proposed something like this some time ago? I think that'd
be good, but we should probably print the defaults used, so that people
don't get unexpected surprises.
