Thanks to jrtc27, I learned about a workaround:

The segfault is not specific to pbuilder, but rather aptitude
crashes under qemu-user.

The reason sbuild works is just that sbuild happens to use a different
resolver by default (probably there is a way to make sbuild use
aptitude, which then *presumably* also crashes).

To make pbuilder use apt instead of aptitude as resolver, put the
following line into the .pbuilderrc (see pbuilderrc(5) for more info)

PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD=/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-apt

best regards
Stefan
