Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.145
Severity: normal


Comma-separated list of EXTRAPACKAGES does not work due to apt is
unable to find "pkg1,pkg2,pkg3" package.

Space-separated list of EXTRAPACKAGES works only if it is enclosed
with quotes, i.e. "pkg1 pkg2 pkg3". Otherwise (without quotes),
pkg2 command gets executed with pkg3 argument somewhere at the beginning.

So, at least there should be a comment about list separator and quoting
requirement in pbuilderrc. Better solution is to allow any format.
