You should move sbuild.conf out of /etc and into /usr then. Might as well rename sbuild.conf.local to sbuild.conf while you're at it. /etc is not the correct place for files that the admin is not supposed to modify. Take a look at how debconf does it, there is ~/.debconfrc, /etc/debconf.conf, and /usr/share/debconf/debconf.conf is a stub config file to make sure debconf will work even if the one in /etc is trashed by the admin. -- see shy jo
