Hi,

I'd like to build a package for a suite calld trixie-zg-unstable. My
container is called trixie. And I don't want to build a dedicated
container named trixie-zg-unstable.

But:
debspawn build --suite=trixie-zg-unstable trixie aide_0.19-2+exp1~0~zg130+7.dsc
ERROR: No configuration data found for image "trixie"!

What kind of configuration data is debspawn looking for?

Building wihtout --suite=trixie-zg-unstable will put a "Distribution:
trixie" field in the generated changes which my archive doesnt accept.

Or am I mistaking the documentation?

Greetings
Marc

P.S.: This is a strange package. It seems to be actively maintained, but
the maintainer does not seem to interact with the bugs filed for the
package other than an occasional "Closes: xxxx" in the changelog. None
of the open bugs (not even the ones that have patches attached) today
have ever received interaction from the maintainer. This is probably
going to be the last bug I file for debspawn.
