I am having the same problem: Calling sbuild-update is not persistent,
if I call it again, it performs the same update again.
This used to work some weeks ago. I didn't change my setup:

[experimental-amd64-sbuild]
type=file
description=Debian experimental/amd64 autobuilder
file=/var/lib/sbuild/experimental-amd64.tar.gz
groups=root,sbuild
root-groups=root,sbuild
profile=sbuild

Even adding the "source:" prefix does not help, the changes are still
thrown away. I definitely did not add the "source:" prefix earlier, and
it still used to work.
Actually, even the docs at <https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild> don't
mention that prefix.

Kind regards,
Ralf
