[Bug 956903] [NEW] pbuilder-dist overrides APTCACHE setting from ~/.pbuilderrc

[Daniel Hahler]

Public bug reported:

I am using "APTCACHE=" in ~/.pbuilderrc (because I am using a systemwide
apt-cacher-ng).

pbuilder-dist overrides this setting:
    arguments = [
        [...]
        '--aptcache', '/var/cache/apt/archives/',                                                    
        '--override-config',

Using os.environ.get('APTCACHE', '/var/cache/apt/archives/') does not appear to help here, because ~/.pbuilderrc gets sourced only after building the command.
(Makes me wonder why the other os.environ.get calls are there?!)

I think pbuilder-dist should just not force this setting to be the
default.
