Thinking a bit more about this, I think invoking "pbuilder clean" is
not the right thing to do. Indeed that command also cleans up the
package cache, to which I'm in fact quite in love with :-)
Consider a situation in which you are rebuilding a lot of interrelated
packages (it is happening to me these days with the OCaml 3.10 -> 3.11
transition). In that case I frequently stop pbuilder because I'm dumb
and I make mistake, nevertheless I don't want to throw away my APT
cache, because it would imply to redownload 20 to 30 packages in the
next build run.
I really want to clean up only the stale build files under build/, not
my precccccioussssss cache :-)
Cheers.
