The question is how you call pbuilder. I always call it on dsc files,
and then it just unpacks the chroot and builds the package. You
probably use debuild - well, then you're on your own. If you unpack a
source package on your system and want to execute targets from debian,
you should have the build-deps installed (Build-Dep-Indep actually for
clean).
Why don't you just use the dsc file?
