ah thanks, I hadn't made it down to that email yet; I just followed up and hopefully something can be worked out upstream. I asked for Michael and your opinion also, in case you have anything you want to suggest/add there.

Thanks!

using sbuild/pbuilder etc may be recommended, but many people (myself included) build locally with debuild and dpkg-buildpackage, especially during debugging/testing. I find sbuild/pbuilder excessively cumbersome and antiquated. But anyway, we don't need to devolve this bug into a build tool argument :)

yes absolutely, I didn't mean we should release with just this fix, I just wanted to get it queued up to include in the next bugfix.
