Public bug reported:
sbuild 0.87.0 grew a new Recommends on mmdebstrap, which is not in
Ubuntu "main".
It allows for (optionally) running sbuild in "unshare" mode, to
automatically create chroot tarballs. We should probably downgrade this
new Recommends to a suggests, in order to avoid a component-mismatch (in
Ubuntu) and allow sbuild to migrate. People who want to use the
"unshare" feature need to "apt install mmdebstrap" manually.
sbuild (0.87.0) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues ]
* If a tarball can't be found, create a chroot on-demand using mmdebstrap.
This version introduces an experimental new feature for the unshare
backend which is supposed to make sbuild more easy to use because sbuild
will manage the chroot tarballs itself. With unshare-mode, sbuild will
now automatically create a chroot tarball upon startup using mmdebstrap
if it cannot find one in ~/.cache/sbuild. This feature can be disabled
by setting $unshare_mmdebstrap_auto_create=0; in your ~/.sbuildrc. If
you like the feature and you would like to keep the tarballs sbuild
creates so that they can be re-used in subsequent invocations of sbuild,
you can set $unshare_mmdebstrap_keep_tarball=1; in your ~/.sbuildrc.
This will also make sbuild update an existing tarball (by re-creating
it) if it has become too old. The maximum age of a chroot tarball can be
specified by setting $unshare_mmdebstrap_max_age to a maximum age value
in seconds (default is 604800, which is one week). To customize the
chroot tarball creation, refer to the setting
UNSHARE_MMDEBSTRAP_EXTRA_ARGS in your sbuild.conf(5).

* Use empty release in unshare autopkgtest (Closes: #1085450)
