Comment(by jdreed):
OK, here's my proposal:
* Add `XSBC-Debathena-Support-Level:` to the control.in files, with the
following values: `cluster`, `graphical`, `standard`. (I think we can
maybe getaway with just `XS-`? Users don't need to see this.)
* dasource checks this, and checks a master file somewhere of what
releases have what level of support. It then creates a nobuild file for
the releases that don't have this level of support. (The nobuild file
would get clobbered and recreated with each dasource invocation).
So, for example, debathena-cluster-login-config has `XSBC-Debathena-
Support-Level: cluster`. cluster is only supported for lucid and natty
right now, so a `nobuild` file gets created, and every releases other than
natty and lucid is listed there.
We may also want to consider supporting `buildfor` files that whitelist
releases, and if a directory contains both `buildfor` and `nobuild` then
sbuildhack errors out.
