Bug#694404: More info on cloned bug

Hi,

I just cloned this bug originally filed against gnome-pkg-tools. The problem is
that pbuilder applies a (possibly too) strict interpretation of policy when
parsing control files that contain a blank line before the first non-empty
paragraph. Thus build dependencies are not correctly detected, resulting in a
build failure of >= 213 packages.

Please see #694384 for the discussion about Debian policy.

Best,
Michael
