Sure, I can either create a new (temp.) pbuilder (by modifying my existing
one) or create a new one.  What I meant to say was

      I am swamped.

      I will not be able to get it soon.

      You guys have working 'experimental' pbuilders.

      Can you help?

as the original bug report suggested that I may want to ask for help on
debian-python@l.d.o.

So, with that out of the way:

       I anybody able to quickly review and test this with me?

I am available via email/irc/chat/... if I get a heads up and get work
with one of you guys on this, but I may not be able to foreground this task
otherwise for a little as I have travel and a presentation coming up.

Thanks, Dirk
