Please merge sbuild 0.57.2-1 from debian (sid)

Adam: i have found some changes to scripts/config.sub and scripts/config.guess, but i can't find any reference on the changelogs, did you know what they are?

config.sub and config.guess are automagically updated when the package is built, the changes there are just cruft, you can just drop them on the floor when you merge.

Uploaded, thanks for your work!

This bug was fixed in the package sbuild - 0.57.3-1ubuntu1

---------------
sbuild (0.57.3-1ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable (LP: #229374), remaining changes:
    - Sbuild.pm: If we're trying to compare versions against a provided
      package, always return "not satisfied", forcing an install attempt.
    - Modify Maintainer value to comply with Debian-Maintainer-Field Spec.

sbuild (0.57.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New release.
  * --chroot and --arch now work together (Closes: #479714).

sbuild (0.57.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/copyright: Update copyright holders and copyright information.
  * debian/rules: Run dh_link in binary-indep target to correct symlinks.
  * debian/wanna-build.install: Install manual pages.
  * man/sbuild.1.in:
    - Add missing character, thanks to LI Daobing (Closes: #474487).
    - Document --binNMU (Closes: #466927).
    - --distribution should be --dist (Closes: #477693). Thanks to Martin
      F Krafft.
  * debian/README.Debian: Remove reference to README-buildd.chroot
    (Closes: #474030), thanks to Marc Fargas. Update sbuild statistics
    information.
  * Add --apt-update option to sbuild to run "apt-get update" in the
    chroot prior to fetching sources and building (Closes: #472350).
    Thanks to Timothy G Abbott for this patch.
  * Add --chroot option to specify a chroot separately from the
    distribution name (Closes: #474160). Thanks to Simon McVittie for
    this patch.
  * debian/control: Depend on debhelper version 6 or greater (Closes:
    #477655). Thanks to Martin F Krafft.
  * lib/Sbuild/Conf.pm: Don't require $mailto to be set if not running in
    a buildd environment (Closes: #478045). Thanks to Martin F Krafft.
  * Use dcmd to parse dsc files, rather than hand-parsing. This allows
    support of the new dpkg source format.
  * All files used in a build are stored in
    /build/username-package_version-arch-XXXXXX inside the chroot (Closes:
    #478044).

sbuild (0.57.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * debian/control:
    - Depend upon schroot >= 1.1.6. This version includes a
      SESSION_CLONE property, used to determine if a chroot is cloned,
      and hence package removal may be skipped.
    - Add wanna-build package.
  * debian/rules: set libexecdir to /usr/share, for compatibility with
    locations of scripts in earlier versions.
  * debian/sbuild.install: use /usr/share in place of /usr/lib
    (Closes: #458779).
  * debian/wanna-build.install: New file: files for wanna-build.
  * sbuild: Don't parse output of dpkg-source (Closes: #471747).

sbuild (0.57.0-1ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Sbuild.pm: Using "eq" instead of "==" for string comparisons tends
    to work a little bit better (and fixes a regression from -1ubuntu1)

PS: There is no way to avoid getting config.sub and config.guess in the diff.gz from this package, because these files are copied from /usr/share/misc when the clean rule is being run, and that is called when you generate the source package.

To fix it requires further changes in debian/rules.

You could do 'dpkg-source -b foo-1.0/', which builds the source package without
calling debian/rules clean, although that's indeed a workaround.

BTW, I think the package shouldn't copy the file in clean, but in configure, and
remove it in clean
