I elaborated this solution and pushed to master. Following is true:

 * `make test < /dev/null' fails
 * `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc < /dev/null' is success now. (see 16d89)
 * 'dtach' uses pty(7)
 * default configuration of pbuilder do not provide possibility to allocate
   pty

So, question is whether it is possible to allocate pty on Debian build farm.

On MELPA everything is smooth.
