Bug#545794: please provide 'cupt' mode for pbuilder

[Eugene V. Lyubimkin]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.189
Severity: wishlist

I would be glad to have some option in pbuilder to enable 'cupt' mode in
pbuilder, i.e. using cupt for package management. Cupt is a front-end to
dpkg that has some benefits like a possibility to download only binary
package deltas for upgrading (using debdelta(1)).  For pbuilder, it has
the 'satisfy' command, so pbuilder can schedule build dependencies and
conflicts without a dummy package.
