I have attached a tested version of this patch which fixes a bug in the
while loop. This applies to the current SVN version of sbuild:
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/buildd-tools/trunk/sbuild
but will also apply to the testing/unstable version.

% sbuild -s -A qd_2.1.200-1
works for me, but I can't build kfolding:
% sbuild -s -A kfolding_1.0.0-rc2-5
Automatic build of kfolding_1.0.0-rc2-5 on hardknott by sbuild/powerpc 0.52
Build started at 20070203-2218
******************************************************************************
Checking available source versions...
apt-cache returned no information about kfolding source
Are there any deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list?

This is without the above patch applied. After applying the patch, I
get:
Automatic build of kfolding_1.0.0-rc2-5 on hardknott by sbuild/powerpc 0.52
Build started at 20070203-2219

This fixes the while loop problem, but I've not yet figured out what's
still failing.
