this is already possible by using: SBUILD_CONFIG=~/.sbuildrc.experimental sbuild or SBUILD_CONFIG=~/.sbuildrc.backports sbuild Where ~/.sbuildrc.experimental and ~/.sbuildrc.backports contain the settings you want for experimental and backport builds, respectively. I agree that this is harder to type than --experimental or --backports but I doubt that we will find a set of configurations that will satisfy everybody for these options, so soon we might get another bug report about changing the defaults. Thus I think it might be best to let each user pick the settings they want. Thanks! cheers, josch
