it uses snapshot.debian.org to find the snapshot with the right packages and
then crafts either an sbuild command line that does the right thing or outputs
manual apt-get command that will install what is necessary. Pbuilder support
could be added but I do not understand enough pbuilder to know how to do that.

Thanks!
