I think that might be different issue, pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy
does not seem to be able to resolve build profiles such <!stage1>
pbuilder does seem to be broken.

kernel-wedge needs to be installed from backports
kernel-wedge | 2.93~bpo8+1   | jessie-backports | source, all

Of course, do not expect apt update to cope with it, you'll need to
install it explicetly per backports design
