Nope, it's not :-), just add: BINDMOUNTS="/var/cache/pbuilder/result" and put hook script somewhere: # cat /var/cache/pbuilder/hooks/D70results #!/bin/sh cd /var/cache/pbuilder/result/ /usr/bin/dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null >> /var/cache/pbuilder/result/Packages /usr/bin/apt-get update (But yes, it slows down build process even more...)
