Thanks for all replies not only this one. A question remains (for me):
How to build a package in a clean jessie environment? Seems like the
buildds are using sbuild. Is that the preferred way to try out a single
package, built on most buildds since 240 days. I'm currently running sid
boxes. The package at hand, lam, FTBFS at least on my amd64 box.
