Looking at the patch, MIRRORSITE=_ will confuse users, maybe something
like
MIRRORSITE=http://you-have-broken-debconf-configuration.example.com/
will be more helpful in finding out what's gone wrong.

On the other hand, pbuilder will source /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc
before /etc/pbuilderrc, so you can actually leave /etc/pbuilderrc
mostly blank, and just fill in, say, MIRRORSITE only.
