Non-existance of eatmydata in the chroot was already dealt with.
Although non-existance of eatmydata when creating the chroot (i.e.
pre-squeeze / pre-maverick) isn't dealt with. That is best worked around
by the user using --no-eatmydata.

Additional patch for non-existance of eatmydata on the host attached
(and in my branch on alioth http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/stefanor/piuparts.git)

For future maintainability, can I also suggest my "whitespace" branch on
alioth? It's equivalent to
$ sed -i -e 's/\t/        /g; s/ *$//' piuparts.py
$ wrap-and-sort -s
