[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#355043: log_command() is too verbous, should be a debug message

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.36
Severity: minor

In my opinion log_command() is much too verbous.  I'm not really
interested in any of those message.  Could you convert this to a
debugging command and only enable it if a special variable is set in
/etc/sbuild.conf.

An example is below; I really don't care what commands sbuild runs, as
long as it does the right thing.  More importantly, it makes it harder
to process build logs.
