[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#629004: sbuild-update --keygen wants my sudo password

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.62.2-1
Severity: normal

Why is it sbuild-update --keygen wants my sudo password? The manpage
doesn't mention it, and I find it quite strange to need root privileges
to generate a key…
