Subject: sbuild: Allow the user to override the dpkg-buildpackage command

Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2017 15:07:48 +0200

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.73.0-4
Severity: wishlist
Control: block 847805 by -1

Dear Maintainer,

In order to make some build variations effective, reprotest(1) wraps the
user's build command in various wrappers like faketime(1), setarch(8), etc.

In sbuild, some of this can be done with --pre-build-commands but not all of
them. It would be good if sbuild(1) allowed the user to specify an override for
the dpkg-buildpackage invocation itself, something like

sbuild --builder='faketime +373days+7hours+13minutes linux32 dpkg-buildpackage'

etc.

how is the BUILD_ENV_CMND configuration variable not sufficient for your
use-case?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
