I was under the impression that the packaged sbuild isn't the one used
on buildds, and that the buildd-tools-devel list discusses the packaged
tools, not the one from the buildds. So this improvement would only be
available for the users of the packaged sbuild?
Are there any plans to move to the packaged versions on the buildds? The
packaged sbuild has been doing a very good job for me.
