Currently pbuilder seems to be broken - I can not build any package.

Fine.  I have a further remark - which you can feel free to ignore since
I do not want to put my preferences on other DDs.  However, I recently
decided to not sponsor packages that are using cdbs.  The rationale is
that I personally do not understand how cdbs works if some tweaks are
needed and the documentation is either to sparse or to well hidden to
find any solution.  Since dh-r exists I'm migrating all packages I need
to touch to debhelper and thus get rid of cdbs fully.  This does not
mean that I will not upload gwyddion once pbuilder becomes usable again
but I would like you to consider switching to dh as well in the future.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
