Public bug reported:

Impact
======
sbuild has recently introduced a new unshare backend that significantly simplifies building .deb packages. unshare is now used by default for most of Debian's official buildds. I believe Ubuntu 25.04's sbuild package [using the unshare backend] is set up to be able to easily build for -proposed which I don't think was as easily possible with the older default schroot method.

Scope
=====
Backport sbuild 0.88.3ubuntu2.1 from Ubuntu 25.04 "plucky-updates" to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS "noble"

Other Info
==========
I have personally been using a local backport of this sbuild version for more than 3 weeks to do a majority of my Ubuntu and Debian packaging and things work well. I intend to keep using the backported version as long as I am using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for most of my Ubuntu work (which I expect to be true for at least several months).

For autopkgtest integration to work well, I also needed autopkgtest 5.47 from plucky but I see that was already handled through the SRU process.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autopkgtest

We are working on updating documentation to help people build .deb
packages. I believe standardizing on sbuild with the unshare backend for
local package building would simplify the documentation. Therefore, it
is important that sbuild with the unshare backend be available for the
last LTS and non-LTS versions of Ubuntu.

See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
backports/2025-May/023370.html and its reply for discussion about this
particular backport.
