I think maintainers should really build and test their packages in clean sid chroots. It's not important Whether these are set up with debootstrap or any other method, and whether the handling is done with pbuilder, manually or with other tools. But it should be done, and since these are the only tools for the purpose I know of, and people don't like to do all by hand, I think they are in fact very important.
