Package: sbuild
Version: 0.83.1
Severity: normal

Hi!

The sbuild(1) manpage says:

       --autopkgtest-opt=options
              Pass the specified option directly to autopkgtest in addition to
              the options already passed by sbuild. [...]

and similarly for --autopkgtest-opts.  However, my ~/.sbuildrc
specifies default autopkgtest options, and I sometimes need to
override those.  It would be very helpful if there was a command-line
option to pass the specified options *instead of* the options already
passed by sbuild, for example if I am building a package for a stable
update.

The same applies for all of the autopkgtest related options, such as
--autopkgtest-virt-server-opt.

Best wishes,

   Julian

OK, closing; at this point, there's probably not much better than %r
or using the environment variable to select a different rc file.
(Especially as it's not just one option involved...)

Best wishes,
