[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#418061: please use du -k

[Martin Koeppe]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.53
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

To increase portability, could you please consider using
"du -k -s" instead of just "du -s" when determinating needed build 
space? I use a "du" which by default outputs the number of blocks, not 
kilobytes. You might apply the following patch:
