Thank you for the hint, I thought some time about implementing something, but kept running into the problem of finding a good name for the argument: one I would be happy to use and that does not clash with existing sbuild arguments. Naming things is hard. In the meantime, I witnessed other occurrences of the confusion in the wild.
