The simplest would be to use a Debian chroot, and maybe run a separate
instance of buildbot with a different identifier in the chroot.

If you haven't done it recently, as root

    debootstrap jessie /path/to/somewhere/debian-jessie-chroot
    chroot /path/to/somewhere/debian-jessie-chroot
    apt-get update && apt-get install $things
    pip or whatever to set up buildbot

And you'll want to add a service or init script on the host to start the
additional chrooted buildbot.
