Package: sbuild Version: 0.69.0-2 Severity: wishlist I have updated a library and in the process I renamed ftplib-dev into libftp-dev (which provides "ftplib-dev") and I want to ensure that reverse dependencies build correctly with the new package. I used --extra-package to inject my package but the new package does not get picked due to the new name... but if I could install the new package before build dependencies are installed, then I could test my package.
So I want a new option like --pre-build-deps-commands="apt-get install libftp-dev" Ideally I'm sure there are cases where we want to fix the set of packages after having installed the build dependencies... so a --pre-build-commands running as root would be nice too.
