Package: devscripts
Version: 2.20.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

debrebuild uses snapshot.d.o to install packages and it also gives some hints
how to set up sbuild. However it doesn't tell that apt has to be instructured
to ignored expires signatures, as else snapshot.d.o is not usuable as an apt
repo.

So debrebuild should explain how to configure apt:

echo 'Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false";' | sudo tee /srv/chroot/unstable-amd64/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/23-debrebuild

cheers,

In Europe there are people prosecuted by courts because they saved other people
from drowning in the  Mediterranean Sea.  That is almost as absurd  as if there
were people being prosecuted because they save humans from drowning in the sea.
