Good to see schroot is being replaced in sbuild, given that it's nearly 20 years old and no longer a cutting-edge solution to the problem of creating build environments. Can't believe time flies that fast since I wrote it in 2005!

Has an outright replacement for sbuild itself been considered? Given the ubiquity of modern CI systems, it seems quite possible to replace it entirely. I would have thought GitLab runners or Jenkins or any other standard CI system would work well. While I once enjoyed writing Perl, sbuild is not a great piece of code, and the problems it was trying to solve now have better and more widely-used solutions which don't require ongoing maintenance of an even older piece of Perl code.
