You should always build in sid and check with lintian from sid. With pbuilder that should be fairly simple. As far as I understand this does not involve any VM, just an automatically generated chroot. > Regarding your other comment: > * You have an unwanted patch in debian/patches which was automatically > added by the 3.0 (quilt) source format > > This patch gets created automatically when running debuild, because > the .pot file gets generated again.

Remove it in your clean target and it will not get included in the patch.

If the translations work without it, there is no need. Paul
