[Bug 628933] [NEW] pbuilder-dist and flexible configuration files

[Gunnar Thielebein]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

In the past, with the shell version of pbuilder-dist, it was possible to
use flexible configuration files like this:

pbuilderrc:

    case "$DIST" in
        intrepid) #ubuntu
            MIRRORSITE="http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"
            COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"
            ;;
            jaunty) #ubuntu
            MIRRORSITE="http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"
            COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"
            ;;
        hardy) # ubuntu
            MIRRORSITE="http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"
            COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"
            OTHERMIRROR="http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse"

$DIST / $ARCH where simply defined somewhere appropriate in the script.
This seems to be not possible anymore with the python version. 
Environment variables seems to be not usable outside the python process.
I tried to add this but it never works:
