OK. If you have a patch for that, please post it to the list as this will
help me save some time.

Good to know, thanks.

Using sbuild or pbuilder is not a matter of preference but building the package in
a clean environment so it doesn't depend on packages from your day-to-day system
which may not be available on other systems.
Packages uploaded to the Debian archive must always be built in a clean environment
and recently, the release architectures actually enforce builds on the buildd infra-
structure.
