umh? multiple distributions on the cmd line? I fail to see what would be the
point :)

well, i know cowbuilder, yet not as I know pbuilder. I started using pbuilder
years ago, it entered my workflow and I'm very lazy/slow at changing it. So I
just know nothing about cowbuilder.
Though I known that cowbuilder and pbuilder share the UI (since there are other
software that allow changing the builder but they don't change the parameters,
so i deduced the two builder shared the UI), i haven't though to pay attenction
to that.
I'll try to not touch the UI. But I guess pbuilder needs a lot more stuff than
changes in the UI.


Whatever, if you still have itches just file them as a bug, i think a handful
more won't change the huge view (even more after me closing old cruft..) :D
