Luckily, since pbuilder 0.118 which was released 31 Oct 2004,
there is a --save-after-login option. It should work in the sarge version
of pbuilder.


For sarge, it should be possible to do the following :

pbuilder create --distribution sarge
pbuilder login --save-after-login
chroot# vi /etc/apt/sources.list # and edit it to point to sid
chroot# apt-get update 
chroot# apt-get install apt gnupg
chroot# apt-get update
chroot# exit


(of course, current sid is in a flux due to C++ transition,
so the mileage may vary)
