I guess, this is a problem with debootstrap, which misses to install a
few packages. The dependency on debconf seems to a new one. I ran
pbuilder update some minutes ago and it told me, that debconf will be
installed as a _new_ package. You can do the following. Create a sarge
environment. In sarge, there is currently no passwd-dependency on
debconf. Then change in /etc/pbuilderrc to DISTRIBUTION=sid and update
your image with 'pbuilder update'. Maybe you need to run it as
pbuilder update --override-config --configfile /etc/pbuilderrc
to make pbuilder recognize the changes in the
config-file /etc/pbuilderrc or ~/.pbuilderrc.
