Bug#797351: pbuilder: W: Could not create compatibily symlink because /tmp/buildd exists and it is not a directory

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.216

I notice the following warning on every pbuilder invocation:

,----
| # pbuilder --login                   
| [...]
| I: policy-rc.d already exists
| W: Could not create compatibily symlink because /tmp/buildd exists and it is not a directory
| [...]
`----

Which is a bit strange since /tmp/buildd is already a symlink to /build
in the chroot:

,----
| # ls -ld /build /tmp/buildd 
| drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 27 09:01 /build
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    8 Aug 27 09:01 /tmp/buildd -> ../build
`----

There is also a spelling error, the warning should read
"...compatibility symlink..." instead.
