This applies to the DSA version, which is used on the buildds. The
sbuild package in debian however adds more features, like schroot
support. With this, it can use schroot to create temporary, clean
chroots from tarballs, block devices, create lvm snapshots on the fly
and so on. I read Roger, that even xen support is planned.
schroot is another very very useful tool. It gives me more or less
instant access to clean chroots on lvm snapshots for experimenting,
building, developing and testing.
