[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#590211: sbuild: Please use one script to perform apt-get update, upgrade, and/or dist-upgrade

[Andres Mejia]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.60.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

It would be helpful if one script (perhaps sbuild-update) were to be used to
perform apt-get update, upgrade, and/or dist-upgrade on an sbuild chroot. This
is especially helpful for those (like me) who use an sbuild chroot tarball.

This patch is from bug #545215. I've submitted a new bug with just this new
change since I thought this change alone would be easier to review.
