hi,

using debspawn in combination with gbp-buildpackage and --lintian
option fails for me for no obvious reason:

container used:
 [..]

ive attempted to re-create the unstable container image and it shows
the following during rebuild:


 > 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
 > No "builder" user, creating it.
 > useradd warning: builder's uid 65388 outside of the UID_MIN 1000 and UID_MAX 60000 range.

login shows:

 > root@radiohead-unstable-buildd-amd64-cs14:/srv# grep builder /etc/passwd
 > builder:x:65388:1000::/run/invalid:/bin/sh

bye,
	- michael
