This is part of the problem.  They shouldn't be conffiles, and
they should be installed in exactly the same way as all of the
other NSS database files (in base-files).  They are required for
the correct functioning of the glibc getproto* and getserv*
functions, and they shouldn't require netbase to be present to
function correctly.

That historic mistake aside, sbuild should now handle this
correctly.  The apport build log posted on -devel by Loïc
Minier showed that it works correctly in current sbuild.
