Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package sbuild, which is
part of the devel section, and maintained by Debian buildd-tools
Developers <buildd-tools-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>. 

This package contains : Tool for building Debian binary packages from
Debian sources.

sbuild is part of a suite of programs -- consisting of
wanna-build, buildd and sbuild -- written by Roman Hodek and
used by most architectures to build binary packages from source
packages.  buildd schedules work from information it gets from
wanna-build; sbuild does the grunt-work.

sbuild can do its work in chroots so both stable and unstable
environments can be used on the same machine.  Useful for, say,
building the latest unstable packages against stable library
versions.  And by keeping only essential and build-essential
in the chroots, you can find the correct build dependencies for
a package.
