Bug Description

pbuilder version 0.215ubuntu7, currently in both trusty and utopic, still has
DISTRIBUTION=saucy
in its /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc . While easy to work around, this is inelegant.

Maybe the default should be something like $(lsb_release -s -c) ? I'm not sure it's safe to evaluate it at run time, but package build time should be OK.

SRU for 14.04
[Impact]
Developers setting up pbuilder on Ubuntu 14.04 will, unless specifying otherwise, get an older EOL-ed release selected as the default distribution.

[Test Case]
0. Verify ~/.pbuilderrc doesn't override the defaults by setting a value for DISTRIBUTION
1. Run `sudo pbuilder create`
The output should mention "Distribution is trusty.", not "Distribution is saucy."

[Regression potential]
I'm not familiar with this package, but I would assume very little. It only updates the default of one property to a valid distribution. It is presently fully possible to set the same value manually without any problems.

… OK for Ubuntu; Debian would likely end up with DISTRIBUTION=sid no matter what, which is also inappropriate for testing/stable/oldstable.

Sorry guys, still not fixed in trusty. The latest package for trusty is pbuilder 0.215ubuntu7.

The DISTRIBUTION option is still set to 'saucy', which is a nasty and easily overlooked error.

I ran into this issue on 14.04 a while back and found this issue when researching. Since I saw it had been fixed in utopic I created a similar patch for 14.04 and submitted that for review. Though, I now see that comment #2 had a debdiff for 14.04 all along. Could someone please take a look at reviewing this?
