Interesting solution and issue.
Sometimes I'm behind a proxy, and I get a *lot* of hash sum mismatches
when using pbuilder/sbuild.
Retry the build works, but I have to say, packages are put in aptcache
only when the md5 is verified AFAIK, so the question is:
how a broken md5 did end up in that directory in first place?
bug in pbuilder?

BTW also pbuilder --clean should work (deleting all the cache IIRC)
