this is annoying for me too, but I usually keep them installed or I remove them after sponsoring the package. (for uploading I use source-only if possible, pbuilder, or DebOMatic as fallbacks) >That's also the reason why "gbp buildpackage -S -sa" (without pbuilder) didn't worked for me. this makes completely sense now, I wasn't aware of this trick >That did the trick! Thank you very much, Gianfranco! :-) my pleasure! I remember myself something like one year ago asking the same question on irc -mentors, and somebody else telling me about the tool ;) Happy hacking, Gianfranco
