both pbuilder and sbuild create that:

$ grep -r policy-rc.d pbuilder-0.226.1/ sbuild-0.71.0/
pbuilder-0.226.1/pbuilder-modules:# Also create a policy-rc.d script if it doesn't already exist.
pbuilder-0.226.1/pbuilder-modules:    if [ -f "$BUILDPLACE/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d" ]; then
pbuilder-0.226.1/pbuilder-modules:        log.i "policy-rc.d already exists"
pbuilder-0.226.1/pbuilder-modules:        log.i "installing dummy policy-rc.d"
pbuilder-0.226.1/pbuilder-modules:" >  "$BUILDPLACE/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d"
pbuilder-0.226.1/pbuilder-modules:        chmod a+x "$BUILDPLACE/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d"
[...]

I think build-essential is fine as it is now. Installing it on a "regular"
system shouldn't break that. Creating a special package build environment
should enable policy-rc.d (and the commonly used tools already do that).
