I suppose sbuild / buildds don't care about that... > Making $HOME point to some read-only place might be better. Please make it possible to at least override $HOME in pbuilderrc. I'd very much like to find bugs like #577011 earlier instead of seeing failures on every autobuilder. As it is, /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-buildpackage unconditionally sets $HOME AFAICS.
