Hi you two,

cowbuilder continues to work for me (and it’s pretty much pbuilder).
I would ask you, Adrian, to refrain from shooting out “I think the
only real solution is” so quickly.

The change in dpkg-buildpackage is annoying, but has been forewarned
since etch or thereabouts already, and I’ve already got a bloody nose
with one package requiring stuff from its B-D to create the source
package (due to debian/rules clean). But this likely only affects
pdebuild, not pbuilder itself.

The fix is easy of course: don’t use pdebuild, dpkg-buildpackage -S -d
then run the .dsc that results in with pbuilder.

<igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic.
<igli> it's like anti-design.  <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that?
<igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;)
