This has to be set in your pbuilderrc. I have a ~/.pbuilderrc in my
home, which is called if I run pbuilder using sudo. If you don't have
one, use /etc/pbuilderrc.

My HOOKDIR is set to ~/.pbuilder/hooks/ though any other directory is also fine.

Create a file called D05deps in your HOOKDIR (for me, in
~/.pbuilder/hooks). The file should contain:

#!/bin/sh
(cd /path/to/the/dir/deps; apt-ftparchive packages . > Packages)
apt-get update

Then, chmod +x ~/.pbuilder/hooks/D05deps and run pbuilder. It should
now take the packages in /path/to/the/dir/deps in your build.
