After updating debparanoia to latest version (2011-06-27) found at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/debparanoia/develop i still received 
error messages complaining about too many open files:

    ...
    [I] Listing package source files to add to index
    ./debparanoia: redirection error: cannot duplicate fd: Too many open files
    ./debparanoia: cannot make pipe for process substitution: Too many open files
    ./debparanoia: cannot make pipe for process substitution: Too many open files
    ./debparanoia: line 720: <(list_1source_files "$tag" "$source"): ambiguous redirect
    *E* Listing of package-files failed

Following your hint to increase the number of open files for bash i increased the number both
for the kernel (probably unnecessarily) and bash:
    ## change kernel limit for open files:
    # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
    100000
    # echo "200000" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
    # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
    200000
    
    ## change bash limit for open files
    # ulimit -n
    1024
    # ulimit -n 50000
    # ulimit -n
    50000

After this debparanoia finished successfully:
    [...]
    [I]    ... 0 packages left
    [I] Attempt to generate emtpy index /home/hd1/debian-ports.debparanoia/dists/unstable-powerpcspe-20110705-130529/main/binary-powerpcspe!
    [I] Parsing package index '/home/hd1/debian-ports.debparanoia/dists/unstable-powerpcspe-20110705-130529/main/binary-powerpcspe/Packages.bz2'...
    [I]    ...found 0 packages.
    [I] Verifying index file...
    [I]    verified 0 packages (original index had 31022 packages)
    [I] Mirroring finished. Had 2 warnings and 0 errors.

Probably increasing resource reservation that drastically (1024 -> 50000) is not necessary ...
