Very true.
I actually had some time recently to start using pbuilder again.
I think we can use pbuilder in unstable "as is" because this is mostly shell
code. But I realized cdebootstrap is the package which really needs to be
backported. I created local packages of cdebootstrap and pbuilder in sarge
stable anyway. It looks there seem to be no issue so far.
One trap was local configuration file, ~/.pbuilderrc for me.
With your switch to cdebootstrap, now we need to apply the same change
as you made to the default configuration file. This will hit most
pbuilder user upgrading to etch/testing who copied system setting to
local setting or edited system setting..

You may consider to mention this fact here:
