 .BI "PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD=" "/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder\-satisfydepends"
 This option is used by various parts of pbuilder to satisfy
-(i.e. install) the build-dependencies of a package.  There are four
-implementations:
-
-The "experimental" implementation,
-"pbuilder\-satisfydepends\-experimental", which might be useful to pull
-packages from experimental or from repositories with a low APT Pin
-Priority.
-
-The "aptitude" implementation, which will resolve build-dependencies
-and build-conflicts with aptitude which helps dealing with complex
-cases but does not support unsigned APT repositories.
-
-The "gdebi" implementation, which will resolve build-dependencies
-using gdebi tool, faster than classic implementation, and does not
-require installation of a dummy package like the aptitude
+(i.e. install) the build-dependencies of a package.
+These are the available implementations:
+
+.I pbuilder\-satisfydepends\-apt
+the newest implementation, which leverage the ability of apt 1.4 to satisfy
+build dependencies and build conflicts from a .dsc; useful since it's pretty
+fast and doesn't require the installation of any non-required package in the
+chroot, nor of dummy packages.
+
+.I pbuilder\-satisfydepends\-experimental
+might be useful to pull packages from repositories with a low APT Pin Priority
+(for example, Debian's experimental or stable-backports).
+
+.I pbuilder\-satisfydepends\-aptitude
+will resolve build-dependencies and build-conflicts with aptitude which helps
+dealing with complex cases but does not support unsigned APT repositories.
+
+.I pbuilder\-satisfydepends\-gdebi
+will resolve build-dependencies using gdebi, faster than classic implementation,
+and does not require installation of a dummy package like the aptitude
 implementation.
 
-The "classic" implementation, which was the original implementation
-used until 0.172.
+.I pbuilder\-satisfydepnds\-classic
+the "classic" implementation, which was the original implementation used by
+default until v0.172.
 
 The default is now "aptitude".
