This is where it's been said to use pbuilder, which I thought was the
"best practice" way of building packages, in terms of consistency. I've
subsequently seen opinions to the contrary.
Unless I hear a compelling argument against it, I'll continue using a
pbuilder chroot that tracks unstable as the build environment for the
packages I maintain. My actual test environment will be a mixture of the
same pbuilder chroot and whatever my actual system(s) are running at the
time.
