The chain-build facility is very useful.  But when you've got a chain
of 3 packages to build, and the build of the second one fails, then
you're done for the day.  You can't restart the chain-build, because
the first package has already been built.  You can't restart the
chain-build from the second package, because the already-built first
package won't be available to build against until the next repo
compose.

Is there any way of addressing this that isn't prohibitively
expensive?  That is, can we either:
- make chain-build atomic, so the failure of any build causes all builds in
  the chain to be marked as failed (allows restarting the chain-build); or
- have a buildroot-override kind of functionality, where we can ask that the
  newly built packages be added to the Rawhide buildroot temporarily, so that
  the chain-build can be restarted at the failed build?
