+     "@code{pbuilder} is a personal package builder for Debian packages.
+@itemize
+@item@code{pbuilder} constructs a chroot system, and builds a package inside the
+chroot.  It is an ideal system to use to check that a package has correct
+build-dependencies.  It uses @code{apt} extensively, and a local mirror, or a
+fast connection to a Debian mirror is ideal, but not necessary.
+@item@code{pbuilder create} uses debootstrap to create a chroot image.
+@item@code{pbuilder update} updates the image to the current state of
+testing/unstable/whatever.
+@item@code{pbuilder build} takes a @code{*.dsc} file and builds a binary in the
+chroot image.
+@item@code{pdebuild} is a wrapper for Debian Developers, to allow running
+@code{pbuilder} just like @code{debuild}, as a normal user.
