Hi, IMO that's the limitation of cowdancer that it's not a perfectly safe way to override applications.
If pbuilder tells you that it's a cowdancer problem, well, I think that's a problem. I think it should be possible to avoid cowdancer altogether while building as non-root user, because there shouldn't really be anything cow there, but there hasn't been that much of an urge to address this issue because I've never actually seen a real-life example that's broken. That said, what's the testcase that's failing and how do I reproduce it? I assume it should be a very small testcase?
