Bug#678407: pbuilder: pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal gets it's knickers into a twist when in symplinked dir

[Junichi Uekawa]

I believe you can work around by sending extra directories to
--bindmounts option.

Currently for convenience the default is:
        --bindmounts $(readlink -f ..) \

I assume that .. is symlinked to somewhere else and that breaks some
assumption here.

Not sure what the generic solution will be.

Would doing 'cd $(readlink -f .)' inside pdebuild help ?
