I agree with Iain that the binaries belong into $PATH for the reasons he
mentioned. If autopkgtest changes that, then sbuild will follow because even
with your changes, the autopkgtest approach is still superior to other
solutions.

I will though re-evaluate whether it makes sense for sbuild to change to
autopkgtest as its default backend. If the adt-virt-* mechanism is not treated
as public API then it's probably best not to depend on it and instead keep the
backend implementations in sbuild itself.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
