Bug Description

Consider backport foo, which needs a libbar backport, too. Currently, it can't be done, because libbar won't be in the pbuilder environment when foo is processed for backporting.

Working on it.

Proposed solution: build an apt repository out of /var/cache/pbuilder/debs, and allow the pbuilder to use it as a build source.
