eatmydata by default

[Adrian von Bidder]

Heyho!

I've been looking a bit into eatmydata.

I feel that eatmydata is useful enough that it can be enabled by default, 
given that the chroots created by pbuilder are usually destroyed.

The way I would implement it:
 * add eatmydata to the packages to be installed in the chroot
 * use eatmydata when creating the chroot in the first place, if it is 
installed
 * define --no-eatmydata if somebody has eatmydata installed but doesn't 
want to use it.  (This would do both: not install eatmydata on the chroot 
creation and not use it wherever it would otherwise be used.)
 * add code doing something like CHROOTEXEC="$CHROOTEXEC eatmydata " (after 
checking that the target actually contains CHROOTEXEC.)

Makes sense?

cheers
