[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#665847: sbuild: Please add option to use plain ASCII characters in graphics

[Jari Aalto]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.62.6-1
Severity: normal

The output of sbuild is difficult to handle because the graphical boxes it
draws are not plain

    +-------------------------+
    |                         |
    | ASCII representation    |
    |                         |
    +-------------------------+

Please add option to choose the output format e.g. with

    --ascii

So that the content can be saved and copy/pasted as plain/text (US-ASCII
encoded).
