Unfortunately my use case is a special (and therefore quite uncommon)
one, and everytime a build is scheduled there is always need to update
the APT cache because the local repository changes so often.

Anyway, I think you're right saying update and build-dep phases must
be handled separately because it is possible to install build-deps
without updating the chroot, but it would be nice to have a command
for update failures anyway. If you think this is not worth the burden,
feel free to close the bug, and I'll handle my use case in a different
way :)
