The postinst of sbuild does switch the sbuild group from
a user group to a system group.  This was done in 0.59.3
in May 2009.

We take care to chown all files on the host owned by
group sbuild.  Inside /var/lib/sbuild in the chroot,
this is taken care of at runtime by
Sbuild::ChrootSetup::basesetup which is called when
setting up a chroot in Sbuild::Chroot::_setup_options.

On non-buildd hosts, such as all sbuild users using
testing or unstable, this group migration went
smoothly with no reported breakage.

Could you let me know exactly which files and/or
directories are retaining the old group, and are
causing breakage as a consequence?


Thanks,
Roger
