Consider this simple 'pbuilder_start.sh' script I set up years ago (for my
package maintenance purposes, not for pkg-bioc).  Note that PLACE is
different from the default value in pbuilder.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

PLACE=/var/local/cache/pbuilder/build

cd $PLACE
[ -f tmp ] || mkdir tmp
cd tmp

tar xfz ../../base.tgz
cd -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After it has been expanded, you can do whatever you want -- e.g. as I did
edit its /etc/apt/sources.lists to point to my local apt-proxy and whatever
else you want.  Then just retar it over the original base.tgz and pbuilder
will merrily use it.

Hth, Dirk
