I really do need to learn more... Is there a *useful* howto on pbuilder? All I
found for now is http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/software/pbuilder.html . It
does not mention the single most important question - how do I control which
packages and from which repos are in the pbuilder chroot?

Good point. I'll write to him. Of course it would be really cool if he did the
backport - I'm not experienced enough really; but if he won't then one has to
start somewhere.
