pbuilder has a very different purpose to git-buildpackage. Mentioning
them together is just confusing.

That wiki page is not maintained by the pkg-multimedia team. In fact, it
seems that not a single member of our team has ever touched this
page. Perhaps you should discuss this with the previous authors of that
page?

Still, I find the page well written and understandable. We should point
from our wiki pages to there.

Does coupling git-buildpacage with pbuilder really make things easier?
I think this is unnecessarily confusing. Isn't it easier to first create
a soruce package with 'git-buildpackage -S' and run pbuilder on the
resulting package?
