OT to this thread but just as general info: If you are already using sbuild
then all of this can be reduced to:
$ sbuild -d unstable foobar
The -d option chooses your configured schroot distribution, but you can as well
pass any other (s)chroot with the -c option instead.
You can also build source packages from other archives (like a PPA) even if the
respective source URLs do not exist in your build chroot. For example here I'm
building the non-free package "arb" from the non-free repository:
$ sbuild -d unstable --extra-repository="deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free" arb
So if you end up just having a deb-src archive somewhere, then building
packages from it in a chroot is just a single command.
Thanks!
cheers, josch
