Hi Adrian,
so you suggest to use powerful scripts.
Ok, got dget (from devscripts) and sbuild.
Added my user do sbuild group.

You can fetch the source from here:
$ dget
-uhttp://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20220801T085926Z/pool/main/p/python2.7/python2.7_2.7.18-13.2.dsc
Then build the package with sbuild:
$ sbuild -d sid --arch-all --arch=powerpc python2.7_2.7.18-13.2.dsc
So sbuild complaints I need a chroot environment. I guess that helps
with build-dependencies only being temporary installed for the build, as
opposite to use dpkg-buildpackage directly?
How can I best chreate the chroot, best would be it using by local apt
cache perhaps, I'm unsure.
Take in account this is on an iBook G4, so not a server with big space.
I think I need the correct setup for sbuild-createchroot ? What
parameters do you suggest or used on your local system?
I am skimming through a debian guide [1] and perhaps Using
/var/cache/apt/archives/ as package cache is a good idea?
