You mean passing "--debbuildopts -tc" doesn't work? > But though Policy section 4.9 specifies that clean must be able to restore, > many developers miss to check clean after build as they often build in > pbuilder environments, and the only way to check that is to do an normal > build, which might miss other things instead. > > Even trhough it will take some CPU cycles more, my advice is to clean > in the chroot by default. I don't think pbuilder needs to divert from dpkg-buildpackage here; just like nothing runs lintian by default, some configuration is needed for stricter QA with pbuilder. I think that's fine, but perhaps we could offer a "paranoiac" or "strict" or "qa" pbuilder config which would enable lintian, clean after build etc. I think this is more something wishlist / nice to have than a defect in pbuilder though -- I do understand why you want to use the lever though.
