Bug Description

Hi,

I just got an email from a failed recipe build:

  Subject: Failed to build: bazaar for hardy

  Build abentley/bazaar into ppa for hardy: Failed to build.

--
https://code.launchpad.net/~abentley/+recipe/bazaar/+build/247
You are the requester of the build.

There are several problems with this.

 * The subject doesn't tell you it is a recipe build.
 * the subject doesn't identify the recipe uniquely or the PPA. If you have a lot of recipes this could get confusing
 * The body is rather terse and doesn't tell me much about what happened.
 * It is needlessly incosistent with what you get for binary builds.

I would suggest following binary package build failure messages for consistency.

Subject: [Build #1803657] recipe build of ~abentley/bazaar in ubuntu hardy RELEASE (james-w PPA)

 * Recipe: ~abentley/bazaar
 * Archive: ~james-w/ppa
 * State: Failed to build
 * Duration: eight minutes
 * Build Log:
https://launchpad.net/~abentley/+recipe/bazaar/+build/1803657/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-amd64.ktorrent_4.0.1-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
 * Builder: https://launchpad.net/builders/promethium

You are the requester of the build.

Thanks,

James
