[pbuilder-dist-simple] claims to support Debian distributions

[Adrien Cunin]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

man pbuilder-dist-simple suggests that I could have a pbuilder-sid, but it doesn't actually work. The script only works with Ubuntu distributions.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Indeed. This is due to the hardcoded Ubuntu mirror that is present. Someone needs to either patch this to detect when to use a Debian mirror, or we need to stop claiming to support Debian chroots.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

I can patch it to change mirror in case of a Debian distro being specified.

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

I've added a fix for it.

Do we actually need pbuilder-dist-simple? Why do we need both of them?

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Change of plan, removed all mention of Debian, we'll keep a simple pbuilder-dist-simple.
