Currently, I do it this way:
(1) establish chroot of the target distribution
(2) chroot there
(3) move orig.tar.gz to the right place.
(4) cvs-buildpackage -Ppackage -Vversion

So all I'll would have to is
(1) cvs checkout my package in the right version for the target
distribution
(2) invoke pbuilder to build in a chroot of the target distribution?
How does pbuilder handle the case that the upstream tarball is not yet
obtainable from Debian (for example, from a not-yet-published
package)?
However, I will probably continue building with my scripts (which have
since been adapted to fetch the upstream tarball from a
per-package-configurable location) since I don't like building
packages as "real" root which pbuilder seems to need at the moment.
