Due to time constraints of my MSc course, I'm unable to give sbuild
bugs much attention at the moment, and this will probably continue for
at least the next six months.  Would anyone be able to take a look at
this?  There are also some other sbuild bugs with patches that just
need testing any applying, which would be quite simple to fix.


Thanks,
Roger
