I'm fairly certain that doesn't matter for the use case that we're
talking about. The squeeze/sid dpkg is only used to build a source
package for copying into the chroot. That source package is then
discarded after being unpacked and the whole package is rebuilt inside
the chroot, including the source package, using the dpkg of the target
distribution.
Or am I wrong about how the cowbuilder environment works?
