The main difference between pbuilder and sbuild is the fact that sbuild uses an existing chroot on which it works (or even builds in your "main" system if you have no chroot configured), while pbuilder creates a clean chroot environment based on a tarball with the required files before beginning a build, which it removes entirely afterwards. -- Fun will now commence -- Seven Of Nine, "Ashes to Ashes", stardate 53679.4
