Thanks, but building with a stock pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal (i.e., without cowbuilder) still succeed. The build also succeed with sbuild (which I believe is the closest thing to the buildd configuration one can easily install) so I honestly wonder if the bug doesn't actually lie in the rebuild method or toolchain, rather than in the package.
