Ehe, if there is anything I'm sure we will fix it :-)

That's where the magic of sharing the existing builders come, if it
gets overloaded with branchjobs we can simple add more machines to the
game when we notice they are needed. Considering that building source
packages is essentially lighter than building binaries, I don't think
they will cause a load that we cannot manage, even if there is some
variation according the branch/source size.

Building branches will also generate more load on the lp smartserver
... which also brings the authentication topic to mind. Are we going
to build private branches ? Similarly to what we do for building P3A
sources we should restrict the access given to builders when dealing
with private branches, since `debian/rules` contains arbitrary code.
