Package: sbuild
Version: 0.59.1~rc1
Severity: wishlist


It would be nice if there was a corresponding sbuild-clean script to perform
various cleaning commands with apt-get, such as "clean" and "autoremove".

I currently had to use sbuild-apt to perform a cleaning. It does help bring down
the size of a newly created chroot tarball from 140MB to roughly 70MB.
