[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#337582: automatic creation of pbuilder user would be helpful

[Charles Fry]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.136
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I may be missing some technical limitations of this that weren't ovious
in the documentation, but it seems to me that the pbuilder Debian
package could automatically create a pbuilder user, in a manner similar
to many other programs, rather than relying on the user to do so
themselves.
