[Buildd-tools-devel] Support for experimental

[Roger Leigh]

Would anyone object to the following change, to allow building from
experimental?

Also, is anyone currently building from experimental?  I'm currently
having difficulties with it pulling in too much from experimental, or
not enough and failing to build due to unmet dependencies.  I would be
interested in seeing what sort of setup you use (apt configuration,
pinning etc..)  For example:

$ schroot -qc experimental -- apt-cache showsrc gtk+2.0 | grep ^Version:
Version: 2.6.10-2
Version: 2.8.7-1

rleigh at hardknott:~/build$ sbuild -d experimental -v gtk+2.0_2.8.3-1
Automatic build of gtk+2.0_2.8.3-1 on hardknott by sbuild/powerpc 1.24
Build started at 20051128-2118
******************************************************************************
Checking available source versions...

Nothing gets built, even though the sources are available...


Regards,
Roger
