+ <title>Using cowdancer for sarge</title>
+ <para>
+ cowdancer was introduced after the release of sarge; if you want to
+ build packages for sarge with cowbuilder, you will need to workaround
+ its unavailability.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ One way to workaround the problem is to set APTCONFDIR in pbuilderrc
+ to point to a directory with a list of sources for APT which has both
+ sarge and sarge-backports.

+ It is recommended to "Pin" the cowdancer package appropriately in
+ this case, via the APT preferences mechanism.
