you're on the wrong track, twice at least :)

a.) this is indeed pbuilder 0.213 from wheezy (and not 0.215+nmus which had 
similar bugs...)

b.) this is about localhost networking, which should always work.

(and c.) there should also be a feature to have internet networking during 
package builds, if users of the tool decide so. But this is really besides the 
point here :)


cheers,
	Holger
