Adam Borowski dixit:

Yes. Or a flag variable be used.

Right, it was just the quickest thing I saw where this situation
could occur.

Right, but I think even lenny-backports-sloppy is closed now, and
while people can just install pbuilder as-is on lenny and squeeze
right now, they could not do that then.

Or I could simply publish my backports¹ and tell people to use them.

① actually, already done:

Considering that any pbuilder changes right now would formally be
available starting with jessie onwards, I have no complaints. But
we might put this into a README somewhere.

<hecker> cool ein Ada Lovelace Google-Doodle. aber zum 197. Geburtstag? Hätten
die nicht noch 3 Jahre warten können? <mirabilos> bis dahin gibts google nicht
mehr <hecker> ja, könnte man meinen. wahrscheinlich ist der angekündigte welt-
untergang aus dem maya-kalender die globale abschaltung von google ☺ und darum
müssen die die doodles vorher noch raushauen
