[Bug 973432] [NEW] APTGETOPT setting doesn't reach satisfy-depends command

[MarcS]

Public bug reported:

The configuration file /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc defines the
variable APTGETOPT which is used by (among others) /usr/lib/pbuilder
/pbuilder-satisfydepends-gdebi.

But since APTGETOPT is defined as a shell array and satisfy-depends is
invoked as a sub-command, the setting never reaches the command because
the shell cannot pass arrays to sub-processes.

A workaround for this is to explicitly 'unset´ APTGETOPT in
~/.pbuilderrc and to export it as a normal variable. This works even
though the satisfy-depends command uses it as an array.
