Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.37
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Pbuilder will load up to three files for configuration, one
in /usr/share, one in /etc, and one in $HOME.
The package ships the default configuration in /usr/share. Therefore,
there is no reason to ship the identical contents in /etc/pbuilderrc.
Indeed, doing so is a nuisance because dpkg always flags my changes to
this "conf file". It would be much cleaner to just drop /etc/pbuilderrc
from the package contents.
I might also suggest the following slight tweaking of the man page.
Cheers,
-Steve
