OK, thanks for clarification.

Only stable releases (currently 7.0). Development daily builds I would
keep on Launchpad [1]. BTW, I am planning to rename that package
(grass7-daily) to `grass-daily`.

I end up with

export DIST=wily ; sudo cowbuilder --create --distribution=$DIST
--basepath=/var/cache/pbuilder/base-$DIST.cow
 -> Invoking pbuilder
  forking: pbuilder create --buildplace
/var/cache/pbuilder/base-wily.cow --mirror
http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ --architecture amd64 --distribution
wily --no-targz --extrapackages cowdancer
I: Running in no-targz mode
I: Distribution is wily.

/usr/sbin/debootstrap
I: Retrieving Release
E: Failed getting release file
http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/dists/wily/Release

The mirror points to debian instead of ubuntu. I don't know why. Here
is my pbuilderrc file [2]. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance! Martin
