Ok. The package has a script, checkroot, to see if the chroot contents differ from a reference. It won't, as sbuild is used here, unless the user installs a package manually. It's very cool having permanent chroots if you have the space. You really have a totally separate install -- maybe stable where you run unstable in base. You can go into it and use it as you would a normal install. But I agree that sbuild and pbuilder take a different approach. I'll plug away. I expect to upload it in a couple days and fix any chroot building quirks later. Rick
