(Thanks for opening the bug report and letting -boot@ know through x-d-cc
as requested on IRC.)

Since debian-installer-images is an arch-indep “package name”, I guess
an easy way out would be to special-case it and not perform dpkg calls
on it in lib/Sbuild/Build.pm's build sub? (Even fancier, letting tar xf
do the work with that particular beast but that's another story, and I'm
afraid I'm not patching + testing sbuild right now.)

Mraw,
KiBi.
