Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.2
Severity: wishlist

Now that the buildds properly distinguish between arch-specific builds
and arch-independent builds and support using build-arch, it would be
nice to have a simple way of testing that such package builds work
properly while still using git-buildpackage.  However, at least when
using git-buildpackage in conjunction with git-pbuilder, this doesn't
seem to work.  I just get various versions of invalid flag errors.

pbuilder itself supports a --binary-arch flag that does the right things
(calls dpkg-buildpackage with -B but also doesn't install things in
Build-Depends-Indep, etc.), but that doesn't seem to make it down to
pbuilder in the right fashion currently.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with git-pbuilder or with something
else, and haven't had a chance to investigate further.  Filing this bug
partly as a placeholder and partly to see if anyone else has already
looked into this in more detail.
