Bug#836940: cowbuilder, sbuild: should behave identically in regard to default gnupg installation

[Mattia Rizzolo]

reassign 836940 pbuilder
user pbuilder at packages.debian.org
usertag 836940 pbuilder
severity 836940 minor
retitle 836940 pbuilder: APT options not forcefully passed to APT
summary 836940 flags newly added to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ are not used unless the updater rewrites the apt configuration with --override-config.  We should either pass the flags by hand with `apt-get -o` or always update /etc/apt/apt.conf.d every time `pbuilder up` is run.
thanks

    [...] update --override-config [...]

should remove it too.

This is a totally different thing.  If you'd like it, please open a
different bug.  (really, different, when I'll come back to this I don't
want to read all this stuff to understand what the OP would like).
