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.
