So it seems, but I don't know why.  Can you please set
"DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer" in your pbuilder chroot (usually by editing
pbuilderrc, there's usually a line in it with

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive"

just add a second line exporting the DEBUG setting.

Then repeat the build, and send us the log file.

Hey, Debian TeX Task Force: I'm quite sure I've given similar
instructions recently to somebody reporting a similar bug, but I can
find neither the question, nor an answer.  Or did I only want to?

Regards, Frank
