Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.161
Severity: wishlist

 While I'm trying to sleep at night, I sometimes find myself thinking
 about new features in pbuilder.

 It's obvious that people want to use different pbuilder setups for
 different distributions (see e.g. #373807).  pbuilder has access to
 debian/changelog which has the target distribution, so it should be
 possible to over configuration based on the target distribution.  For
 example, if it's experimental or *-backports, pbuilder should switch
 it's SATISFYDEPENDS invocation.
