  The reason is simply that I added Ubuntu specific components in
  pbuilderrc which threw pbuilder off when trying to build for sid.

  $ grep ^COMPO /etc/pbuilderrc
  COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"

  Maybe it would be possible to change pbuilder configuration in such a
  way that it is possible to specify components on the command line or
  better yet set COMPONENTS for Debian and Ubuntu differently.
