I made another test and removed the "override_mail_sender_in_testsuite" patch 
from quilt 0.46-8ubuntu1 and it still builds...
So I found on the changelog:

  * [debian/patches/override_mail_sender_in_testsuite]
    override the mail sender in the testsuite so that it works even on
    misconfigured chroots used to compile etch over and over
    (Closes: #393985).

So according to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=393985

  This happens when quilt fails to retrieve the hostname, ie:
   - /etc/mailname does not exist
   - `hostname -f` does not return a fqdn
   - neither does `hostname`

  Ie, it only happens on misconfigured build daemons and chroots

I can't remember exactly but I might have tried to build it using a 
misconfigured pbuilder...
Anyway I believe that override_mail_sender_in_testsuite should be updated...
