Thanks a lot! Now with the "base-" prefix (image name: base-mybase) and with the following command, it works: $ git-buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-dist='mybase' But I still think that this solution is not very intuitive (or my intuition is not good enough ;-) ), so I'll keep this bug open. I think it's more intuitive to pass the option to --git-pbuilder-options or have an option with a more intuitive name. Thanks again! Mònica
