[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#391096: pdebuild: should not leave temporary
source package in ..

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.159
Severity: normal
The temporary source package built to pass the source to pbuilder itself
is of no use to the user, since it is in fact obsoleted by the one
generated by the pbuilder run. It should be generated in a temporary
directory instead and cleaned afterwards. That probably means
identifying the orig tarball first, and using it as second argument to
"dpkg-source -b".
In fact, copying the results files back into .. (as seen suggested in
various other reports) would be the next step. Today I keep using
"cp -a .../results/*_version_* .." whenever pdebuild has finished,
which, aside being a PITA, occasionally produces a mess when some of the
temporary source files are kept for some reason.
As a side-effect, the results in .. would allow --auto-debsign to work
(see #390953).
