[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#524564: sbuild: $HOME is expanded to an empty value

[James Vega]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.58.2-1
Severity: normal

The example sbuildrc (and my ~/.sbuildrc) use $HOME in the values for
various settings.  This is now being expanded to an empty string instead
of the user's $HOME.
