From now on, "sbuild --dist sid --arch amd64 path/to/my.dsc" works.
It must be mentioned that a common problem with sbuild is, that the
.changes file it generates will have a *different* distribution from
the one you set in debian/changelog if you use the --dist or -d option!
If sbuild changed the value of the distribution field in the .changes
file, it will do so in *red* but it is still easy to miss this.
The *right* thing to do is to choose the chroot with the -c or --chroot
option. The -d or --dist option will do the same job, but the side
effect that it changes the distribution field in the .changes file it
creates can be a very dangerous one.
So please don't further advertise the -d or --dist option anymore if
you actually want to use the -c or --chroot option instead!
Um, except that -d/--dist is obligatory. Without it you get:
No distribution defined
