Incomplete. pbuilder's (Build-)Dependency resolution differs from sbuild's, which is the tool used on buildds, so making sure the package builds in pbuilder (although usually sufficient) doesn't ensure it will do on buildds. BTW, setting sbuild chroots isn't really hard nowadays, so people may want to give it a try. :) Mraw, KiBi.
