Bug#740577: pbuilder build profiles support NMU

Hello.

Build profiles is apparently live in the Debian archive now!

We need to get some basic support for building packages that has the
profile tags in their control file now....
IMHO just ignoring profiles would be a good enough first step
but since Johannes Schauer has already kicked off the work
on proper support I'm following his path.

I'm attaching a couple of COMPLETELY UNTESTED additional patches to get
the ball moving by extending support to -classic as suggested by
Thorsten Glaser. (I'm very low on time, will try to look at actually
testing them soon.)
These builds on top of Johannes Schauers already submitted patches.

Anyone with objections should start contributing patches (further
improvements or alternative versions) ASAP.

This is my declaration of intent to NMU pbuilder as soon as
I find time to pursue this further (unless anyone else handles
this before I get a chance).

Input from people experienced with pbuilder internals appreciated!

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
