Bug Description
The autopkgtest package depends on pbuilder, but it shouldn't. There are several backend options for autopkgtest that don't require pbuilder; we shouldn't have to install pbuilder just for /usr/lib/
A possible substitute for this would be mk-build-deps from devscripts.

I think that moving to mk-build-deps would be a step into the wrong direction. Right now we pull in
