I have not been following this thread very well, but if I was doing
this I'd have different slaves ... one per build target. Each might have the
first 3 or 5 steps with the last steps different. Each would have it's own
user and would destroy/clean up post build to avoid any artifact pollution.

Example:

LinuxRPMSlave
1. Checkout to .
2. verify release info
3. build docs
4. rpmbuild
5. publish result
6. tear down/clean up

LinuxDumbDist
1. Checkout to .
2. verify release info
3. build docs
4. ./configure
5. make
6. make install with prefix
7. tar/gz results
8. publish result
9. tear down/clean up

OS/X DMG
1. Checkout to .
2. verify release info
3. build docs
4. ./configure
5. make
6. make install with prefix
7. create dmg
8. publish result
9. tear down/clean up

etc..
