the thing is, that autopkgtest is run *outside* the chroot. If it were run inside, the problem would not exist. There are already ways to do this right now. For example you could instruct sbuild to rebuild the source package using the --source flag. Or you could use "apt-get source" yourself and then run sbuild on it. > Doesn't sbuild have a mechanism to get files out of the chroot? How else > does it extract the .deb files that are built? It does. But it would be unexpected behaviour if sbuild would also produce the source package if you just tell it `sbuild package`. The expected behaviour in this case would be for sbuild to just create the binary packages. Unless you add the --source flag of course, which would be a workaround as described above. Do you see a solution to this problem? Thanks! cheers, josch
