In which cases does it work ? In which it doesn't ?

It would be really helpful if one could use pbuilder without being root
on the machine. For example, I have a user account to a PPC Debian box,
but I can't run pbuilder on it because I'm not root. User-Mode-Linux is
not a solution here, because it doesn't work on PowerPC. What's the
solution in that case ?

Sincerly,

Thomas
