commit 37f942e805ff5de3b181cdb629570f8e7d55ba4b
Author: Ross Gammon <rossgammon at mail.dk>
Date:   Fri Feb 5 22:07:32 2016 +0100

    Improve cowbuilder set up section
    
    Move the pbuilder hooks section up so that you don't create the chroot
    without it. Don't use ambiguous ~ for path to hooks. Add information
    about updating the chroot. Add a link to setting up multiple distributions.
