Thanks for the pointers.

Thanks, but building with a stock pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal (i.e.,
without cowbuilder) still succeed. The build also succeed with sbuild
(which I believe is the closest thing to the buildd configuration one can
easily install) so I honestly wonder if the bug doesn't actually lie in
the rebuild method or toolchain, rather than in the package.
