the buildds are running a fork of sbuild. Buildd maintainers add patches to
their fork as is required. They are not using the stock sbuild that comes with
Debian stable.

You might have noticed that despite this bug, buildds kept on churning with
their "old" version.

If you want to include sbuild in a point release, I'm not stopping you from
discussing this option with the release team.
Thanks!
