Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.199+nmu1ubuntu1
Severity: normal
pbuilder(1) mentions a per-user configuration file ${HOME}/.pbuilderrc,
but since pbuilder must be run as root, it should probably refer to
/root/.pbuilderrc instead. This is especially confusing if run with
sudo. Also, it doesn't make much sense to have both /etc/pbuilderrc and
/root/.pbuilderrc if it always uses /root/.pbuilderrc. That's just a
duplication of /etc/pbuilderrc then. What could be a better option is
for pbuilder to check whether SUDO_UID is defined, and then use the real
user's home directory.
