       --update
              Updates  the  base.tgz  for  the  specified distribution.  Also, by specifying the --override-config option, it is possible to install a new apt-line using the
              given options and settings in the configuration file for the base.tgz.

              For example, to switch the distribution of an existing base.tgz to lenny, specify the --distribution lenny --override-config options to update.



and


       --othermirror [deb http://xxx/xxx/ ./ | other deb lines... ]
              The lines which is added to the sources.list, delimited with | Like deb http://local/mirror stable main|deb file:/usr/local/mirror ./

              The  deb  lines  here  are  the ones that will appear at the top of the sources.list inside the chroot.  Be sure to follow the syntax rules of sources.list(5).
              These lines appear at the beginning of the constructed sources file, so this is the place to list your local mirror sites; apt will then use them in preference
              to the ones listed in --mirror .


       --distribution [distribution]
              Specifies the distribution used. Currently the supported values are sid etch lenny and experimental .


       --components [components]
              Specifies the default distribution components to use. eg. "main contrib non-free".  Default is "main".


       --override-config
              Specify  to  use  different apt set up inside the chroot than it was used for creating the base.tgz.  Specify this when you want to do pbuilder --update with a
              different distribution target set up.

              --distribution , --components , --mirror , --othermirror options are only valid when --override-config option is specified in --update target, or when pbuilder
              --create is being called.





So they are, in both directions.
