+    so (probably) then make sure code doesn't assume variables exist and
+    either way do something about checking error code of check_dsc and

+    probably by putting a version var as the first thing and checking

+
+  o security global mail overrides should special case buildd stuff so
+    that buildds get ACCEPTED mails (or maybe amber (?)), that way
