[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#841169: /usr/sbin/sbuild-createchroot: tarball contains /var/cache/apt/archives

[Simon McVittie]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.71.0-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/sbuild-createchroot
Tags: patch

Steps to reproduce:

sudo sbuild-createchroot --make-sbuild-tarball=sid.tgz sid sid http://192.168.122.1:3142/debian

Expected result:

sid.tgz contains only package contents and apt lists

Actual result:

sid.tgz also contains /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb, which are unnecessary
and waste space (current sid amd64 is 211M with these archives or 121M
without).
