Routine testing of this sort would help to catch this sort of problem, since always building in a clean chroot will "mask" the problem--but clean chroots would effectively prevent this for Debian. Just FYI, there is a patch currently being discussed on the buildd-tools-devel list which would add union filesystem support in addition to lvm-snapshots. This would also provide a mechanism to always ensure a clean build (by overlaying a temporary scratch filesystem over a clean chroot). Regards, Roger -- .''`.
