Actually, as discussed today, sbuild in unstable (or rather: with the
apt resolver) uses force-confold since ages:
# Make apt-get run dpkg with --force-confold, as the </dev/null trick
# doesn't work anymore with dpkg >= 1.4.1.18.
# Revision 1.101 1999/10/29 12:32:24 rnhodek
I'd tend to replace that with force-confnew, and add that to the
aptitude resolver as well (that's why it only occured in experimental
but not in unstable).
