Well, things tend to take always more time than expected. :-)

I think sbuild is doing in principle the same as pbuilder: Just create
a minimalistic chroot and build there.  So I expect the same behaviour
and if you get the package building using sbuild that's perfectly OK.

That's perfectly fine for the moment.  Just lets any version fixing the
currently open RC bug migrate to testing - afterwards we have time to
hunt behind the latest upstream version.

Kind regards
