I think it is not as important to build for all linux distributions
(well, it is but only for rpm/deb related changes), as it's important to
build with different gcc versions. So I'd suggest

 * one of centos5 or rhel5
 * hardy
 * debian5
 * one of debian6, lucid, maverick
 * natty
 * oneiric or precise
 * centos6
 * fedora17

probably it's not very important to build on both x86 and amd64 for
every platrorm.

By the way, when fixing packaging bugs it's important to build on all
VMs, so we need one staging tree that builds all. But for now one can
use -release trees for that, and later we could create -packaging stage
trees when necessary.
