There already is: the USEDEVPTS conf option.

Please see `man 5 pbuilderrc` for a complete reference.

This bug *has been* (since it's now fixed) about the inability of USEDEVPTS to
actually mount /dev/pts in system with systemd = 220.

Bug#788580: /dev/pts workaround

[Diane Trout]

Hi,

I had one a hook script that tried to start screen when my build's failed, and 
that also failed with the no pts problem.

Instead of doing the cowbuilder login as suggested by Axel Beckert I wrote a D 
hook :

-- D01pty---
#!/bin/sh
mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
---end---

which at least solved my problems with launching my screen hook.

Given the sequencing of hooks it should also help with building.

But a built in solution would be nice.

Diane
