Description

Fix the build for real (workaround’d in 4218f2e4): at lb source time, when lb chroot_sources install wants to run apt-get upgrade, it fails the build with The value 'wheezy' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources (due to the APT proxy not being configured at this time, the last apt-get update failed and the package indices are empty). If one simply removes APT::Default-Release, then the pinning is broken when indices are not available. Actually, if lb source just exited early unless LB_SOURCE is enabled, we would not have this problem.

The workaround is not that ugly, and works well, so IMO that’s not a blocker for 1.1. I’ll drop the milestone unless someone objects within 2 weeks.
