At work I'm using pbuilder on a machine that's unfortunately quite
slow, so updating takes long, especially the creation of a new
tarball. (Unpacking/building packages is also slow, but still
bearable.)

Still, we could have both, and as I usually |tee the output to a file,
it would be nice to have the update time in the build log.
