I just tried it, and verified, that the package indeed builds in
pbuilder. You could try to compare your build log, and one from the
build that failed (haven't taken a look at them).
If you can't find any significant differences, which could explain the
FTBFS, I would downgrade the bug to important (so it's no longer
considered release critical) and tag it unreproducible, till the
submitter confirms the problem has been solved somehow (and the bug can
be closed).
If you are going to do an QA upload keep an eye on the build logs:
You'll see if the package can be build by the autobuilders.
Best regards,
Alexander
