Note that there is one advantage of pbuilder: When you compile in a
pbuilder environment, you know that there are no packages installed
beside the base ones installed by debbootstrap and build-essential. So
you know when you make it install the packages in your Build-Depends
line and it does compile, that this line is correct and sufficient.
If you compile on your sid machine, you never know what's left from a
previous build of an other package, or simply because you installed it
to ease your work.
I am running sid in a permanent chroot and do some testing and working
there. But when it comes to building packages, I still use pbuilder.
