[ale] Build servers?

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where I can find information on setting up my own
automatic build server?  A friend of mine and myself are trying to
manage a (growing) number of packages, and it would be really nice if we
could just send them off to our own build server that would build these
packages for a target distribution, both x86 and x86-64 architectures.

Basically, what I'd like to do is to have my server (which is presently
vastly under-utilized) set up so that we can "dput" the source package
at it, and we can just prep the source package and some time later it
will spit out .debs for us.  The way that I understand it, the piece of
software that does this is buildd, but I don't want buildd to be
rebuilding all of Debian or Ubuntu or whatever it is that we're
packaging for.  I just want it to manage the builds for the packages
that we're working on, and pull dependencies from the base system as
needed.

Perhaps my google-fu stinks, but I can't find anything that gives me
enough information to determine if buildd is even what I am looking for,
or if there is something else that I am really in need of.  Anyone tried
this before?
