[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#399178: noisy warnings: "Unable to locate package..."

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.52
Severity: normal

With the current version of sbuild, I regularly get "Log from sbuild"
emails which tell me "Unable to locate package...", e.g.

W: Unable to locate package libgdchart-gd2-noxpm-dev
W: Unable to locate package libgdchart-gd2-dev

or

W: Unable to locate package tk8.2-dev
W: Unable to locate package tcl8.0-dev
W: Unable to locate package tcl8.2-dev
W: Unable to locate package tk8.0-dev

I find these emails quite annoying and I don't see what they add.
Would you mind removing them?
