I see.
Would it be easier to allow passing options to pbuilder? That might
even be a better choice then hacking new path config settings (Just a
though - I don't know).

To try and avoid the XY problem, I'll briefly explain what I'm looking
to do.
I'm setting up a build 'network'. Unfortunately, I've only got two
servers. as a result, I'd like to to run all builds in pbuilder (hence
trying this tool out). On one server, I'll build i386/amd64, which
should be fine as I beleive pbuilder can handle that ok. On the 2nd
server, I'd like to run qemubuilder, and 'virtually' build mips and
armel packages.
This is "somewhat" outside your original spec I'm sure, but I'm hoping
I can prod debomatic into doing what I want, since its really quite
nice and simple.
Thoughts, including declarations of insanity are welcome :)
