Hello,
I've just stumbled upon bug #446298, and it appears that debuild is
advising to run /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends as root:
If you have the pbuilder package installed you can run
/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends as root to install the
required packages, or you can do it manually using dpkg or apt using
the error messages just above this message.
This is very dangerous ! The results can be disastrous ! That bit of
advice should be removed. /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends
is a /usr/lib script, and as such can change its behavior without
notice and need not be documented. Don't mention it. Don't rely on it.
Regards,
Vincent
