To minimize side-effects on the host system by the built code, and side-effects on the built code by the host system, vectis does all builds in a newly cloned virtual machine (or in theory a container, but that mode has not yet been tested). To avoid the need to back up large VM or container images, vectis can rebuild its own VM images and sbuild tarballs at any time. To increase confidence that a package that builds successfully in vectis will also build successfully in real Debian infrastructure, vectis tries to be pedantically correct: builds use a sbuild configuration closely resembling the real buildds, and in particular Architecture:any and Architecture:all binary packages are built separately by default,
