Comment (by josephbisch):

 I addressed your comments from IRC in the PR for gitian-builder.

 Replying to [comment:26 gk]:

 I added the line "distro: "debian"" (without the outer quotation marks) to
 my manifest and I don't encounter this issue. Are you treating it the same
 as suites, which would make it an array?

 I just fixed the issue in the gitian-builder PR. There were broken
 packages due to conflicts between grub-pc and grub-legacy. The Debian wiki
 says to just install grub (it appears to install the correct version of
 grub for your suite), so I have make-base-vm doing that now for Debian
 instead of using grub-pc for both distros as gitian-builder uses for
 Ubuntu.

 I am now able to make it through a Wheezy i386 build for a very very
 simple descriptor.
