Thanks for the howto, this looks useful.


One point I want to mention:
When I configured pbuilder some time ago, I couldn't manage to use
different locations than /var/cache/pbuilder when using
cowdancer/cowbuilder with it.
So I was not able to have chroots for different distributions.

But I haven't digged deeper in that, cause having only sid satisfied
me.
