[ubuntu-dev] Bug#652000: /usr/bin/pbuilder-dist: pbuilder-dist ignores environment and has no way to set a custom pbuilderrc

[Karl Goetz]

Package: ubuntu-dev-tools
Version: 0.101
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/pbuilder-dist

Hi,
Because pbuilder-dist is available in squeeze, but qemu-debootstrap
isn't, I've downloaded the script from bug 572952 and I'm trying to use
it with pbuilder-dist. Unfortunately, despite saying "install or change
DEBOOTSTRAP option" it seems to ignore the environment and the users
.pbuilderrc. Could this be changed please? It makes it excessively hard
to use the thing, to the extent that you need to be able to edit roots
pbuilderrc.

thanks,
kk
