Ya, I can definitely see why sbuild would be used for an automated
build environment. It's quite a bit more customizable and better
designed for industrial use.

I'm still going to use pbuilder for locally checking if the packages
build in a chroot though. The commands for pbuilder are very similar
to those of debuild and it's quite a bit easier to use. It's more than
enough for testing to see if the packages will build when uploaded to
Launchpad, which is really all I would use it for.

Thanks,
Ryan
