I am experimenting.

So far lenny-proposed-updates etch-backports lenny/updates jaunty can be
handled by tweeking pbuilder-modules with case ... esac .

That's what I am doing.

No --vender needed.  Problem is karmic.  I think I need to update
debootstrap in my lenny system.  It is missing as you expects.

Realistically, "making chroot with jaunty and upgrading to kermic by
coging in and saving them" seems to be simplest to make kermic chroot

I thought I need sed but simple echo like what we do for experimental
was enough.  Instead of $EXPERIMENTAL, $DISTRIBUTION_ORIGINAL is used in
case sentence.

I am moving it to DEBIAN_MIRRORSITE.  

Let me test a bit more and get sleep.
