I just tried with --use-pdebuild-internal, and I got it working by
adding "passwd" at the end of the "apt-get install" line in
/usr/lib/pbuilder/pdebuild-internal:34. I've committed a cleaner patch
for this.

Well, if you check the documentation of --use-pdebuild-internal:
--use-pdebuild-internal
Uses a different implementation of pdebuild, which calls clean
and build inside the chroot, using bind-mounts.
I'm not sure why it's like that though.
