It's fixed in unstable for some time. The buildds need updating to use it (but this needs testing; there's a buildd-merge2 branch at git.debian.org/git/users/rleigh/sbuild containing the latest merge candidate for the buildd branch). WRT netbase, I do think that its non-essential status should be re-evaluated, as should the difference with the handling of its conffiles and the other databases. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
