Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.187
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

I thought it would be nice if pbuilder-satisfydepends-aptitude gives a relevant 
name to the dummy package. It could be pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy-$PACKAGE 
instead of pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy. Moreover, giving it a relevant version
would be nice too.

This can be useful when using pbuilder-satisfydepends-aptitude for several
packages. Having a relevant version, allow us to know when we created the 
dummy package.

Attached a patch that implements that.

Cheers,
