If you agree, then I will see this bugreport as a feature request to implement the following: Let APT_DISTUPGRADE be a tristate option: 0, 1, 2 In addition to --apt-distupgrade and --no-apt-distupgrade add --maybe-apt-distupgrade. In case of --apt-distupgrade, fail if sbuild removes build-essential. In case of --maybe-apt-distupgrade, allow "partial" distupgrades by putting build-essential on hold before distupgrading. Please signal your agreement to this plan by lowering the severity of this bug to wishlist. Thanks! cheers, josch
