[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#416828: pbuilder: --preserve-buildplace ignored on build

[Ludovic Drolez]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.161
Severity: normal


Hi !

When building with --preserve-buildplace the buildplace is not
preserved.
Maybe the problem is in the man page which does not describe
properly how --preserve-buildplace works...

In particular the man page is very funny:
...     It will clean up the build place on failure, or after a
success- ful build...

So the buildplace is preserved but it is cleaned ? LOL
