Isn't the solution just to remove it and use debootstrap?  That script
was known broken for a long time.  I use sbuild itself, and don't have
problems (though I use a hand-built chroot).

I'm happy to document how to create the chroot with debootstrap,
though actually maintaining sbuild is not up my street (I find the
3500 lines of undocumented inpenetrable perl regexes rather
unfriendly!).

Just under nine months, surely?
