Hi,

Following the addition of 'apt-get autoremove' on upgrades (git commit
ba35d786b9ebb80ffa3722fed38174e0084548cf in the pbuilder.git
repository) to fix #322649, pbuilder --update cannot be run anymore
for etch chroots, since etch's apt-get does not know about
autoremove. Therefore attempting to pbuilder --update (or cowbuilder
--update) for an etch chroot yields:

E: Invalid operation autoremove
