Well, pbuilder-uml has been broken since quite some time.
Yes, clearly is a quite showstopper to use pbuilder-uml, but I'm downgrading it
mostly to not have another release-critical bug that would affect testing
migration and whatnot.
I also got suggestions to just drop pbuilder-uml …

Personally I don't use pbuilder-uml, but if somebody wants to jump in and
propose a patch I'd be happy to look at it, or otherwise I'll come back to this
bug one day...

I'd need to investigate it, and I don't want to right now. But if somebody
discovers that this is not a pbuilder-uml please reassign it.
