+sbuild (0.60.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ sbuild provides two build dependency resolvers, 'internal', which
+ is the default, and currently used by the build dæmons, and
+ 'aptitude' which uses aptitude.
+
+ The 'aptitude' resolver has been available for nearly a year, and
+ is believed to be ready for everyday use, having a number of
+ advantages over the old 'internal' resolver. We are soliciting
+ feedback from users prior to making 'aptitude' the default. To
+ enable it, set "$build_dep_resolver='aptitude';" in your
+ configuration. Please report any discrepancies in its behaviour
+ compared with the 'internal' resolver. It is hoped that once it
+ has been shown to work reliably and correctly, it will become the
+ default resolver used on the buildd network; it is already in use
+ on buildds autobuilding experimental.
+
+ The older 'internal' resolver is still used by the buildds, so
+ packages intended for upload should use
+ "$build_dep_resolver='internal';" to build using exactly the same
+ dependencies that should be used by the buildds.
