[pbuilder-dist] should be easier to use with PPAs

[Brian Curtis]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

With the addition of PPA's to Ubuntu there are many people who use them and when building in pbuilder-dist it would be nice to have an easy way to include those PPA's.

Right now if i pbuilder-dist natty --login --save-after-login, I edit the sources.lost and it says it saves, but pbuilder-dist will --overwrite-config on start removing those changes.

having to use --othermirror on every load seems a bit too much and for me (so far) isn't even working with pbuilder-dist.

sounds like you want a hook?

Does that do the job for you?

This is really a support request, not a bug. Moving to question tracker.
