Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.159
Severity: minor

        Hi,

 I don't think it's very natural to load all configuration files in all
 cases.  I think it would make sense to not load any configuration file
 when --configfile is passed.  It would be easy to configure
 ~/.pbuilderrc to source /etc/pbuilderrc, but it's not easy to avoid
 parsing ~/.pbuilderrc right now.

 I suggest pbuilder shouldn't parse ~/.pbuilderrc when --configfile is
 passed, and perhaps even not the other config files.  Since this is an
 intrusive change, I suppose it should be deferred post-etch and
 proeminently announced in NEWS.Debian.

    Bye,
