Makes sense. We should also amend `git-pbuilder` slightly to read a `GIT_PBUILDER_HOST_ARCH` to be consistent with what we do for `--git-arch`. Am I assuming correctly that you're using plain /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow/ / /var/cache/pbuilder/base-$DIST.cow for that or do you have special chroots setup for that purpose?
