The build script already changes to each chroot. You just need to cron  
the ~pd/auto-build/pd-extended/scripts/auto-build/run-automated- 
builder build script, then it'll look into ~pd/auto-build for builds  
to run (in the form of named folders, i.e. pd-extended). And it'll run  
the pd-extended-auto-builder.sh in each chroot it finds in /var/chroot.

There is no debian/rules for that package.  My guess is that it would  
be a fair amount of work, but I could be wrong.  Plus if that approach  
is more interesting to you, that'll probably mean that more work  
that's interesting is better than less annoying work.
