I'm not really happy with this change. The flow of the 'Creating the
cowbuilder chroot' section doesn't make sense any more.

Plus the ~ is still used in the example command making it must be the
same as the preceding example setup of the lintian hook.

Using `git-pbuilder` only for the update command also doesn't make
sense. `cowbuilder --update ...` should be used to remain consistent
with the create instructions. git-pbuilder is an alternative that should
be documented as such. The DIST & ARCH env vars should not be included
in the <command> element and their values should be enclosed in
<replaceable> tags.

I've pushed some changes to address the above. I've not pushed changes
for the below.

If you want to configure the hooks after creating a chroot, you need to
set the option in ~/.pbuilderc or use the --update and --override-config
options to change the chroot.

The 'Other useful set up tips' section should be merged into the 'Tips &
tricks' section, it doesn't belong in the cowbuilder setup section.

The link to the pbuilder wiki needs to be removed or include a warning
that it documents multiple distributions for pbuilder not cowbuilder as
used by git-buildpackage.

Kind Regards,

Bas
