If you want to take over packaging in future the package please file an
ITA for the bug report you linked. This makes your intention to take
over packaging public.

Whatever you prefer. Using pbuilder is a good idea though since you can
verify by using it whether your package builds cleanly and you set build
dependencies right. I use it first of all to test installation/upgrade
of packages (i.e. maintainer scripts).
You are not restricted to a particular tool by the way, you can use
either one and switch whenever you want. Since your (future) package is
versioned in SVN you probably want to use svn-buildpackage as well.

Maybe it is more helpful to ask for particular problems as soon as you
have.
