So use debootstrap and buildd.chroot[1] then.  It would only takes
about 5 commands more and you could ditch buildd-setup-chroot

Err, no there's not?  apt patches got merged...

IMNSHO pbuilder is a red herring; if you're going to package sbuild
feel free, but I think any kind of chimera hybrid with pbuilder is ill
advised at best.  YMMV.
