Oh, there's also the case where a build is failing and you can't quite
figure out why from the logs a scratch build provides. In this case I
use mock in 'interactive' mode: you can pass mock a parameter which
gives you a shell inside the mock chroot, so you can poke around within
the build environment for a build that failed and figure out what's
wrong. Doesn't happen often, though.
