[Bug 943435] [NEW] [backportpackage] Doesn't find pbuilder-dist's chroot

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

Public bug reported:

My understanding is that pbuilder-dist's default location for its chroot
is ~/pbuilder/$release-base.tgz and ~/pbuilder/$release-$arch-base.tgz
for foreign archs. I haven't changed the defaults, but backportpackage
fails. It's looking for ~/pbuilder/$release-$arch-base.tgz even though
I'm building on the native arch.
