I'm not sure what you are actually trying to ask. If you want to ask
howto build only a selection of packages on top of a existing prebuilt
packages:

Just add the packages yoo don't want to build to a separate binary)
repository, create a Packages.gz file (with dpkg-scanpackages)
and add it to etc/sources.list

Well, python usage is still very marginal. most of the logic is in
unplanned-build.sh as shell script.
