Bug#410576: [Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#410576: sbuild: can't set chroot name independently from distribution name

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I think we probably want to try

distribution-arch-sbuild
distribution-sbuild
distribution-arch
distribution

in that order.  Distribution could be specified with "-d" as normal,
and we can add a separate --arch= command-line option to specify the
arch (which will default to the host arch).  You could probably also
use "-d distribution-arch" right now; did you try that?

Does that sound acceptable?


Regards,
Roger
