Hello Jessica, and thank you for your rapid response. Your explanation of the dependency situation with pbuilder and ubuntu-dev-tools is helpful. However, I don't understand why pbuilder itself is only suggested and not required by ubuntu-dev-tools. According to the Ubuntu Packaging Manual(https://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/getting-set- up.html#set-up-pbuilder), pbuilder is a necessary tool for the packaging process. I think that pbuilder, and by extension python3-distutils should both be required by ubuntu-dev-tools.
