I ran into this same problem for a different reason, and would welcome a
solution, although I don't think the solution proposed in this bug is the
correct one.
The problem I ran into is that I want to pass the -d -nc options to
dpkg-buildpackage -S when building the initial source package to move it
into the chroot. I want to do that because I may not have the packages
required to run debian/rules clean installed outside of the chroot (and in
general should not need to). This can be a significant requirement given
how many debian/rules files include makefile fragments from various build
packages.
However, if I pass --debbuildopts '-d -nc' to pbuilder, those options are
also passed to the dpkg-buildpackage used to build the package in the
chroot, which then runs afoul of:
-nc Do not clean the source tree (implies -b if nothing else has
been selected among -B, -A or -S).
and then forces a binary-only build, which isn't what I want. I have
separately reported a bug against dpkg-buildpackage, but in general I
don't really want to use the -d -nc options for the dpkg-buildpackage
inside the chroot even if it's harmless to do so.
I propose an alternative solution: a separate option that specifies the
options used for generating the initial source package. If
--buildsourceopts (or some such option) is specified, then it overrides
--debbuildopts only for the initial dpkg-buildpackage -S invocation. If
it's not specified, the existing behavior is used.
