Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.159
Severity: normal

  Quoting Chapter 3. Using User-mode-linux with pbuilder:

---------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents

1. Configuring user-mode-linux
2. Configuring rootstrap
3. Configuring pbuilder-uml
4. Considerations for running pbuilder-user-mode-linux
5. Parallel running of pbuilder-user-mode-linux
6. Using pbuilder-user-mode-linux as a wrapper script to start up a virtual machine

NOTE that since October 2004, pbuilder for user-mode-linux is not distributed, since user-mode-linux itself is broken in Debian. A functional user-mode-linux will hopefully be fixed before Debian etch release, but it is not quite determined yet if  will be ready for etch.

It is possible to use user-mode-linux by invoking pbuilder-user-mode-linux instead of pbuilder. pbuilder-user-mode-linux doesn't require root privileges, and it uses the copy-on-write (COW) disk access method of User-mode-linux which typically makes it much faster than the traditional pbuilder.

---------------------------------------------------------------

  t could be my non native English, but is `pbuilder for user-mode-linux' different  from
pbuilder-user-mode-linux? In addition, doesn't testing have user-mode-linux and 
pbuilder-user-mode-linux?  Doesn't that imply  that they are likely to be in etch?
