this is annoying for me too, but I usually keep them installed or I remove them after
sponsoring the package.
(for uploading I use source-only if possible, pbuilder, or DebOMatic as fallbacks)


>That's also the reason why "gbp buildpackage -S -sa" (without
pbuilder) didn't worked for me.

this makes completely sense now, I wasn't aware of this trick


>That did the trick! Thank you very much, Gianfranco! :-)

my pleasure!
I remember myself something like one year ago asking the same question on irc -mentors, and
somebody else telling me about the tool ;)

Happy hacking,


Gianfranco
