Title:
  trusty/utopic pbuilder targets saucy by default

Status in “pbuilder” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “pbuilder” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  pbuilder version 0.215ubuntu7, currently in both trusty and utopic, still has
  DISTRIBUTION=saucy
  in its /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc . While easy to work around, this is inelegant.

  Maybe the default should be something like $(lsb_release -s -c) ? I'm
  not sure it's safe to evaluate it at run time, but package build time
  should be OK.

  
  SRU for 14.04
  [Impact]
  Developers setting up pbuilder on Ubuntu 14.04 will, unless specifying otherwise, get an older EOL-ed release selected as the default distribution.

  [Test Case]
  0. Verify ~/.pbuilderrc doesn't override the defaults by setting a value for DISTRIBUTION
  1. Run `sudo pbuilder create`
  The output should mention "Distribution is trusty.", not "Distribution is saucy."

  [Regression potential]
  I'm not familiar with this package, but I would assume very little. It only updates the default of one property to a valid distribution. It is presently fully possible to set the same value manually without any problems.
