Hello,
it would be nice if sbuild supported the --env=VAR=VALUE command line
option like autopkgtest:
--env=VAR=value
Set arbitrary environment variable in the build and test.
Can be specified multiple times.
I know that sbuild keeps the current environment but it does filter it and
getting rid of the filter requires setting up a configuration file I
assume. A bit complicated compared to the expressivenes of the above
command line option that clearly says "yes I want that variable".
This suggestion is the result of some design work in debusine where
we want to make it easy for Debian developers to experiment with
changes that can affect many packages. And we believe that the possibility
of setting up an arbitrary environment variable is important in that
context.

Thank you for considering that idea!
