Either set up an alias on the server, or create a .forward file in root's home directory (aliases are suggested as the better way of doing it).

vi /etc/mail/aliases
add a line such as:
root: myemail@mydomain.com

Then run the newaliases command. Check the man page for newaliases and aliases.

NAME
buildd-mail - mail answer processor for buildd SYNOPSIS
buildd-mail buildd-mail-wrapper VERSION
This man page documents the packaged version of buildd-mail. This version is maintained by the buildd-tools project developers on Alioth (https://alioth.debian.org/projects/buildd-tools/). There is also a version maintained by Ryan Murray which is adapted to build daemon needs, with similar functionality. This version should be equally capable of working in a buildd setup, but has a number of enhancements aimed at making it suitable for use by end-users. DESCRIPTION
buildd-mail processes incoming mail for the buildd user. buildd-mail-wrapper was a setuid wrapper for buildd-mail, which has been removed and is no longer required. It has been kept as a symbolic link to buildd-mail for compatibility purposes, but is obsolete and will removed in a future release. SETUP
The buildd user should have a file ~/.forward with the following contents: |/usr/bin/buildd-mail-wrapper This will ensure all incoming mail will be processed using buildd-mail. FILES
/etc/buildd/buildd.conf Configuration, maintained by the system administrator. This may be used to override the defaults. ~/.builddrc User-specific configuration. ~/.forward Mail forwarding configuration. AUTHORS
