Fully agreed -- on the other hand sometimes it is nice to be able to not have
to bring the pbuilder up and down which takes valuable time.  So having an
option would be nice.

I think we all agree that for truly batched and automated builds, it is ideal
to use pbuilder.

I'm open for changes, we should simply try not to divert too much energy to
maintaining branches or getting out of sync.  But if you come up with something
better, why not use it?
