[Bug 1205110] Re: autopkgtest should not depend on pbuilder

[Martin Pitt]

I think that moving to mk-build-deps would be a step into the wrong
direction. Right now we pull in

# apt-get install --no-install-recommends pbuilder

But with devscripts it's much worse:

Title:
  autopkgtest should not depend on pbuilder

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The autopkgtest package depends on pbuilder, but it shouldn't.  There
  are several backend options for autopkgtest that don't require
  pbuilder; we shouldn't have to install pbuilder just for
  /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic.

  A possible substitute for this would be mk-build-deps from devscripts.
