I don't object to the autobuilder running apt-get upgrade but I would object 
very strongly if dpkg-buildpackage were to do an upgrade!  Don't go messing 
around with my scratchbox development environment whenever i build something!  
I have many strange repositories in my scratchbox sources.list at various times 
and I NEVER, EVER do an apt-get upgrade in my development scratchbox targets!  
When I am developing, and particularly when I am debugging, I need to be able 
to control exactly which versions of various libraries are being used for that 
particular build including, sometimes, old versions.  And I often have 
different targets with different library versions deliberately installed.

I am not sure anyone was proposing that dpkg-buildpackage would do an upgrade 
but wanted to point out that it can't before anyone suggested it.
