  Description     : build rpm packages inside a chroot

 Mock creates chroots and builds rpms in them. Its only task is to
 reliably populate a chroot and attempt to build a package in that
 chroot. It is used be the Fedora Extras project to build their
 packages cleanly.

Mock was previously packaged in Debian, but unmaintained and eventually
removed:
http://bugs.debian.org/616383
I believe it can be handy for us and would like to re-introduce it.

A packaging repository will shortly be on
http://anoncms.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/tzafrir/mock.git
Test packages (for Wheezy) will shortly be on
