Dear sbuild maintainers,

sbuild copies (preserves) most of the env variables of the environment
in which it is run from into the build environment (chroot). All env
variables are copied except those specified in `$environment_filter`
(see the `ENVIRONMENT_FILTER` section in `sbuild.conf(5)`).

This behavior should be documented in the sbuild(1) man page.

Regards,
