Description

Debian package builds can reuse a base environment more efficiently by wrapping pbuilder with copy-on-write behavior. It is useful for maintainers who repeatedly build packages and want faster setup without modifying the original chroot.

This is a build helper for advanced packaging workflows. Misconfigured build directories or permissions can waste disk space or affect package reproducibility.
