No problem, pylint seems an important patch to add, good luck with it.

Yes, we could indeed remove the noauth from Elbe code.

Elbe seemed to not have trouble to generate an Ubuntu image without 
noauth, but when I want to work with pbuilder I got an issue with the 
keyring:

W: GPG error: 
http://127.0.0.1:8080/var/cache/elbe/c26b1694-ff47-4efc-9346-13b3b0811c47/repo 
bionic InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because 
the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4A4B63D0DEC56F34
E: The repository 
'http://127.0.0.1:8080/var/cache/elbe/c26b1694-ff47-4efc-9346-13b3b0811c47/repo 
bionic InRelease' is not signed.
W: Aborting with an error

Strangely it is related to the local repository but with noauth the 
issue disappear.

Yes I did it in my initvm.
