 Thanks; unfortunately, the code has changed a bit since you submitted
 your full replacement script; perhaps you could offer a diff of the
 remaining changes instead?

 I just implemented architecture support in pbuilder and pdebuild:
pbuilder (0.196) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
  * pbuilder: add support for setting the architecture on the command-line
    and in pbuilderrc.
  * pdebuild: add support for setting the architecture on the command-line
    and in pbuilderrc; closes: #516625.

 Perhaps you could adapt the script to use this instead?  Note that
 --arch is passed to debootstrap automatically.

 I saw that your script calls "linux64 sudo ..." when building for
 amd64; does this actually work under i386?  I am not sure one can run
 x86-64 binaries under i386.  What's the use case for linux64 here?

    Thanks!
