Re: [Bug 334848] Re: [Jaunty] pbuilder-dist does not recognize any distributions at all

 But an option is to have pbuilder-dist (and more generally, all other
 scripts) check for the binaries they need and prompt the user to install
 them if not present.

 Good idea?

Yes, iirc most scripts should actually already do this.

 Since pbuilder-dist seems to be pretty useless without debootstrap, I
 suggest to add a Depends on either pbuilder or debootstrap to ubuntu-
 dev-tools.

A Depends is not an option, as there are lots of tools in
ubuntu-dev-tools and only pbuilder-dist needs debootstrap. A
Recommends may be used though (they are installed by default, but you
can still uninstall them if you want).

 Why is it not an option?  The semantics are that of a Depends, unless
 pbuilder-dist is packaged separately.  It is not solely a Recommends.
 The binary is unusable without debootstrap.

But not everybody who installs ubuntu-dev-tools uses it. It would be a
Depends if pbuilder-dist had a package for itself, but not here where
it is only one out of many scripts.
