Package: sbuild Version: 0.58.2-1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
thank you for sbuild. When used by DDs to build packages to upload, sbuild has the unexpected behaviour of ignoring the distribution set in the changelog. Of course this behaviour is what is needed in build daemons, but it would be useful if sbuild could be able to do it both ways. An option would be to use the distribution set in the changelog when one specifies "-d auto", but that may have a rare failure scenario if someone having their own local distribution with a suite called "auto". Alternatively, one could use another option like --auto-distribution or --no-auto-distribution, and set the defaults from $sbuild_mode. This was roughly the result of the brainstorming we just had on IRC.
