Bug#635698: pbuilder uses "/usr/bin/apt-get" not "apt-get", etc.

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.199+nmu1
Programs should normally be found on the PATH. That makes it possible
to do exciting things by putting a wrapper on the PATH, to install a
local version in /usr/local, and so on.
pbuilder gets this wrong not just for apt-get but also for a number
of other programs (dpkg, dpkg-buildpackage, make, ...)
The output of, in the pbuilder source tree,
grep -R /usr/bin *[^~] |grep -v '^testsuite'
is a good starting point for a set of candidate uses to be fixed.
Ian.
