I swapped from pbuilder to sbuild some years ago. sbuild integrates with schroot in a really nice way. You can schroot in to the same chroots that sbuild will use and stay in for multiple builds. I use tarball chroots for clean builds which always revert to the initial state and plain chroots for other general testing. This is how I normally deal with mikhail's issue - develop in a plain chroot until I think things are working then test with clean builds in a tarball or lvm chroot. sbuild supports cross-building too which I find handy. I must admit I'm surprised so many people still use pbuilder, although I do agree that the syntax is a bit simpler for a 'standard upload' build.
