 Networking
 ==========
 
-cowbuilder/pbuilder block networking using namespaces and unshare in the above
-environments. If your package requires internet access to build successfully, 
it
-will not work. First, try to fix the package. If that is 
impossible/undesirable,
-USENETWORK=yes in /etc/pbuilderrc or .pbuilderrc can be used to override that
-behaviour. Make sure that the building host has internet access though, or else
-your change will not be useful
