This isn't the first time the hook instructions in the Policy didn't work for those actually trying to follow it. So there is certainly room to improve it. Maybe we should recommend the same path as used in the PbuilderTricks wiki. That recommends: HOOKDIR="/var/cache/pbuilder/hook.d/" See: https://wiki.debian.org/PbuilderTricks#How_to_build_for_different_distributions Using an absolute path at least removes the ambiguity of the ~.
