[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#567905: Skipping build is not really an error

[martin f krafft]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.59.0-1
Severity: wishlist

If I build a arch:all package without --arch-all, then sbuild will
skip the build, saying e.g.:

  backupninja_0.9.7-4~bpo50+1.dsc: i386 not in arch list or does not
  match any arch wildcards: all -- skipping

It also returns with exit code 1. I would prefer if it exited with
0 since there wasn't really an error — the behaviour was
well-defined and exactly what I wanted.

Thanks,
