That's rarely sensible or useful. The buildds necessarily build against unstable. Building in a testing chroot has been known to *delay* progress into testing if you're in the middle of a library transition! The only time you should ever build in a testing chroot is if you're uploading to testing-proposed-updates. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
