Package: sbuild
Version: 0.85.0
Severity: wishlist

Hello.

I'm trying to use faketime with sbuild. Currently, I managed to
make it work by replacing dpkg-buildpackage inside the chroot
with a wrapper script:

#!/bin/sh
faketime -f "@2028-12-31 12:00:00" real-dpkg-buildpackage

But I would prefer not to fiddle with the contents of the chroot.
Is there a less intrusive way?

Somewhere in the source I see this hardcoded:

        system('/usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage',

so maybe we would just need some new environment variable
string to be used as a prefix for that.

Thanks.
