many packages fail to build twice in a row again

With recent dpkg(-source) changes, many packages are again failing to
build twice in a row, because of uncommitted upstream changes. Fixing
this was a lenny release goal, maybe it should be one again?!? Most
importantly, maybe someone who has access to one of those build grids
can run the old tests again, because I feel by accidentally stumbling
upon these problems we will not be able to find and fix many of them any
time soon.

Is it really worth it? There are many ways to work-around this, such as
using a temporary git repo to be able to 'git clean' and return to a
clean state before each build.
