[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#826847: sbuild: override default debootstap's /etc/apt/sources.list

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.65.2-1

Hi there,

I am setting up an internal buildd (with no wanna-build) following:

  <https://wiki.debian.org/BuilddSetup>
  <https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild>

As we plan to recompile official Debian packages from internal Git
repositories, we do not mirror the source architecture, no need to waste
bandwidth and disk space:

  <https://www.debian.org/mirror/size>

I do not understand why sbuild-createchroot completely replaces the
${target}/etc/apt/sources.list generated by debootstrap with its own,
since the following commit:

  commit 7eaa13539e6542f553efbf81c2514cbfad2cbac8
  Author: Roger Leigh <rleigh at debian.org>
  Date:   Sun Jul 27 13:54:19 2008 +0100

    [sbuild-createchroot] Set up sources.list with --components values

So, my questions are:

1) what is the rationale for the current behavior, i.e. why not leaving
   all the *default* APT sources to debootstrap?

2) why adding by default deb-src for a *building* environment?  This
   seems quite strange to me, but I am sure I am missing something...

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
