Package: pbuilder Version: 0.135 Severity: wishlist Hello,
it seems that pbuilder tries to get the basedebs from some hardcoded FTP mirror URL, http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian. This is maybe fine for the maintainer, but not for us in the outside world. In fact, it should try to get the mirror URL from the local sources.list file and only fall back on the hardcoded value if that does not work (and announce what it does, LODLY). Otherwise, it can suck hundreds of megabytes from external mirrors though the user most likely does not want to do that because the outside traffic costs money while a local mirror may be available and known in the apt configuration on the host system.
