Bug#737632: autopkgtest: adt-run builds packages differently to the buildd
Hi Martin,

that would mimic the buildd case and sounds like a good solution to the
problem to me. autopkgtest would then also benefit immediately from any changes
to dpkg-buildpackage that were driven by policy in the behaviour of the clean
target, environment etc.
thanks!
