Using "may change in a future release" makes sense to me.

Yes, it would be convenient to be able to use a single script that can run all 
these apt-get commands during a single run of the script, especially for the 
file type chroots. I see sbuild-apt is already used for something else, so 
sbuild-update should be used instead.
