It's not a "default" sbuild configuration, it's one where you created
a signing key. Get rid of /var/lib/sbuild/apt-keys and it should work (at
least on a recent sbuild, I saw you reported it on an old version, not
sure if that version already has the fallback mentioned below).

When a key is present there, sbuild wants to use it to sign the internal
repository and then your chroot needs to have gpg installed (and unstable
chroot no longer have it since apt dropped the dependency).

That said, it would be nice if sbuild was smarter, it could check gpg's
availability before deciding to sign the repository and then fallback to
using the "[trusted=yes]" sources.list attribute instead.

Cheers,
