The "apt-get update" step is not part of installing build dependencies.

In fact build-deps can be installed even without the "apt-get update" step.
Just run sbuild with --no-apt-update.

What would the benefit be to have a --apt-get-update-failed-commands hook?
Which hook would one like to run when "apt-get update" failed?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
