[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#626361: run lintian and piuparts from within the chroot

[Reinhard Tartler]

Package: sbuild
Severity: normal

Hi,

Thanks for implementing the --run-lintian and --run-piuparts hooks in
sbuild. I noticed that both swtiches try to use the system utilities. I
think it would be far more useful if they would install the packages in
the chroot and use them right inside the chroot. Imagine the case that
you have several chroots (oldstable, unstable, testing, lucid, natty,
etc), where using the system lintian from debian/stable might not give
the best results.  In case you used the tool versions from the chroot,
always the matching version of these QA are used and you get better
reports.
