Comment(by gk):

 I played a bit with it. Great work, Mike! Some feedback/questions: 1)
 After I shut down my computer during the first build I wanted to continue
 with the build later (or restart it) but gitian (probably) complained that
 the VMs are already available and did not let me. I thought there was some
 kind of clean target for that case in the makefile, too, but eventually I
 had to delete the already existing VMs by hand. Not a big deal but if
 there were such an additional target in the makefile that would be fine.
 2) Do you check the signatures for the language packs (or more precisely:
 the signature of the SHA512SUMS file + the contained sha512 hashes of the
 language packs)? That does not seem to be the case or did I miss
 something? 3) Do you have a result of your builds somewhere to check
 whether I really got the same binaries?
