Why is this called "debootstrap-buildd"? Does it have support for the actual chroot requirements of the buildd system (i.e., the /build directory, the lockfiles and -directories sbuild requires, and so on)? Your description seems to suggest that isn't the case; if I'm right there, I suggest you either rename the package (to 'debootstrap-build', or so) or actually add the support, otherwise this might confuse people into thinking that's all they need to get started. -- Wouter Verhelst Debian GNU/Linux -- http://www.debian.org Nederlandstalige Linux-documentatie -- http://nl.linux.org "Stop breathing down my neck."
