sbuild is the build tool.
To make a chroot you can use sbuild-createchroot or, err, I forget
what it's called, schroot-buildd-setup or something ? Maybe someone
else will pop up with the answer.

Hi,
I'm a new linux user. I've used Debian on Virtualbox but recently decided
to make the move to a dedicated Debian system. I recently purchased an Asus
X541-UA-RH71 to install Debian on. I ran into some issues with the wifi
setup.
When I was installing it said that the firmware for rtlwifi/rtl8
also measure the improvement every month.
Feel free to email us or alternatively you can provide me with your phone
