I don't have enough hard drive space to create a build chroot. That being said, I try to use namcap and also try to resolve any bug reports within the same day it's assigned. Most of the time I don't get any issues.
Seriously? A chroot takes ~600MB. At build time, even for the most dep heavy application, I doubt you will go much beyond 1GB plus space for the build files. Say 1.5GB for most packages. How do you build packages against [(community-)testing] or not [testing] as required? Or do you not help in the rebuilds for library soname bumps? I am very much of the opinion that if you can not build a package in a clean chroot, then you should not build the package at all. Fixing a bug quickly is no excuse for making the bug in the first place. Allan
