Package: sbuild
Version: 0.35
Severity: normal

On my machine, the sbuild group has GID 1001, wich is in the login user group ID range.
The maintainer script for sbuild should use the --system switch to ensure that the group
it creates is in the lower range specified by Debian Policy for dynamically created GID.
