Using sbuild or pbuilder is not a matter of preference but building the package in a clean environment so it doesn't depend on packages from your day-to-day system which may not be available on other systems. Packages uploaded to the Debian archive must always be built in a clean environment and recently, the release architectures actually enforce builds on the buildd infra- structure. Adrian -- .''`.
