Public bug reported:
Trying to build a package in a debian unstable chroot using Bionic sbuild fails
due to missing dpkg-scanpackage:
$ sudo sbuild -d unstable -A -s

This looks like dpkg-scanpackages is needed to create the dummy package,
but that's in dpkg-dev which is what it should be installing at this
point.
This used to work before the buster release.
If I pre-install dpkg-dev in the chroot then it works fine.
