Long:
Being new to sbuild is some what frightening.

All the actions involved for setup of sbuild, result only in having sbuild setup.

Next is using sbuild.
From the manual page:

SYNOPSIS
       sbuild [-h|--help | -V|--version] [-v|--verbose | -q|--quiet]
       [-D|--debug]       [-A|--arch-all]        [--archive=archive]
       [-d|--dist=distribution]  [-c|--chroot=chroot] [--arch=archi-
       tecture] [--build=architecture] [--host=architecture] [--pro-
       files=profile[,...]]    [-s|--source]   [--force-orig-source]
       [--make-binNMU=changelog-entry]        [--binNMU=NMU-version]
       [--append-to-version=string]       [--add-depends=dependency]
       [--add-conflicts=dependency]  [--add-depends-arch=dependency]
       [--add-conflicts-arch=dependency] [--add-depends-indep=depen-
       dency]     [--add-conflicts-indep=dependency]     [-m|--main-
       tainer=maintainer]  [-e|--uploader=uploader] [-k|--keyid=key-
       id]    [-j|--jobs=n]    [--debbuildopt=option]    [--debbuil-
       dopts=options]   [--dpkg-source-opt=options]  [--dpkg-source-
       opts=options]  [-p|--purge=purge-mode]  [--purge-build=purge-
       mode]  [--purge-deps=purge-mode] [--purge-session=purge-mode]
       [-b|--batch] [-n|--nolog] [--run-lintian]  [--no-run-lintian]
       [--lintian-opt=options]  [--lintian-opts=options] [--run-piu-
       parts] [--no-run-piuparts]  [--piuparts-opt=options]  [--piu-
       parts-opts=options]   [--piuparts-root-arg=options]   [--piu-
       parts-root-args=options]        [--pre-build-commands=string]
       [--chroot-setup-commands=string]       [--starting-build-com-
       mands=string]              [--finished-build-commands=string]
       [--chroot-cleanup-commands=string]         [--post-build-com-
       mands=string]  [--log-external-command-output]  [--log-exter-
       nal-command-error]                 [--setup-hook=hook-script]
       [--build-dep-resolver=resolver]           [--resolve-alterna-
       tives|--no-resolve-alternatives]       [--extra-package=pack-
       age.deb] [--extra-repository=spec] [PACKAGE[.dsc]]

Which looks scary.


Doing
  cd ~/src
  debcheckout sbuild
  cd sbuild
  sbuild
results in
 tail: cannot open '/home/stappers/src/sbuild/debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory
 dpkg-parsechangelog: error: tail of /home/stappers/src/sbuild/debian/changelog gave error exit status 1
 E: Could not parse /home/stappers/src/sbuild/debian/changelog

Cause is having No debian directory after `debcheckout`


Doing
  cd ~/src
  debcheckout postfix
  cd postfix
  sbuild
results in
 test -f debian/rules
 dh_clean build
 test ! -d debian/postfix || rm -rf debian/postfix
 /usr/bin/make tidy
 make[1]: Entering directory '/home/stappers/src/postfix'
 /usr/bin/make -f Makefile.in MAKELEVEL= Makefiles
 make: Entering directory '/home/stappers/src/postfix'
 (echo "# Do not edit -- this file documents how Postfix was built for your machine."; /bin/sh makedefs) >makedefs.tmp
 No <db.h> include file found.
 Install the appropriate db*-devel package first.
 See the RELEASE_NOTES file for more information.

 make: *** [clean-preunpatch] Error 2
 E: Failed to clean source directory /home/stappers/src/postfix (/home/stappers/src/postfix_2.8.5-2.dsc)
 

Is that a FTBFS or me not being able to use sbuild?


Documenting how to testdrive a sbuild setup, will answer that question.
