I agree with your assesment. Thank you for sharing your opinion on this. While I started implementing this using Perl's remove_tree() I remembered that I already had the same problem with mmdebstrap. I now just copied what I do with mmdebstrap and recorded the reasoning behind that in the commit message: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sbuild/-/merge_requests/179 Thanks! cheers, josch
