Were you using sudo to build before?  sudo automatically cleans the
environment variables so you have to specifically tell it to keep the
relevant DEB* variables.  See the env_keep option in sudoers(5).

Bugs where the debugger/debugging symbols 'fix' things are annoying.
I'll be around for DebConf so maybe we can look into it then.  Ideally
I'd be able to reproduce it but so far that isn't happening.
