This is a perfectly reasonable and valid request.
As an aside, one of the reasons it's like this is that I find pbuilder
configuration files were one of the worst cruft I introduced to
pbuilder. It's probably much better to have long command-lines and
customization through crafting shell scripts; I find it so much
simpler to maintain.
