Agreed, bumping to serious.

It is most likely libgdu-dev → libgdu0 → udisks

 When udisks is installed and configured in the pbuilder

In postinst we use start-stop-daemon to stop the daemon on upgrades.
Unfortunately, udisks-daemon does not write a pid file, so we use --exec
(start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon).

Ideally, s-s-d would do the chroot detection for us, but I guess we have to
check for that manually in postinst for now. But I cloned the bug for s-s-d.
