If you're using git-buildpackage, using cowbuilder is indistinguishable from using pbuilder (in fact, someone may well be using cowbuilder and not know it if they used the default recommendations in git-buildpackage). cowbuilder is nearly identical to pbuilder; it just constructs the work directory for the build differently, in a way that at least used to be way faster. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
