You use the sarge version of cdebootstrap to build a etch or sid chroot?

No.  Upgrading pbuilder to the version in sid lets apt-get also install
the cdebootstrap version from cdebootstrap.. This is what I wanted to
express by

~$ dpkg --status pbuilder cdebootstrap | grep -e Package -e Version
Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.131
Package: cdebootstrap
Version: 0.3.8

Please compare the versions

~$ apt-cache policy cdebootstrap
cdebootstrap:
  Installiert:0.3.8
  Mögliche Pakete:0.3.8
  Versions-Tabelle:
 *** 0.3.8 0
          5 http://ftp.debian.de unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.3.4 0
         50 http://ftp.debian.de sarge/main Packages

This is known to not work because of the changed behaviour of apt and is
fixed in proposed-updates.

But I'm using the apt version from Sarge and I do not really want to scramble
my basically Sarge system with to much sid stuff.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
