Following some discussion on IRC yesterday, this is an updated version of
the patch which works with current sbuild git.

It provides both --debbuildopts (for space-separated options and pbuilder
compatibility) and --debbuildopt for single options (which can contain
spaces), which I added because I hate having a feature constrained by
shell quoting issues.

Martin, if you'd like to test this and let me know if it does what you
want, that would be great.  If you'd like to do any further work on it,
that would be super.  It currently doesn't attempt to sanisite the
input for e.g. options set by sbuild itself, which would be nice, but
not essential.


Regards,
Roger
