PBuilder will fail if there are any spaces in the directory that the
source package is stored in. Output from PBuilder on one example
package:

    -> copying [/tmp/cheese 1/cheese_2.23.91-0ubuntu1.dsc]

        Hey

 This bug probably still applies, but when forwarding bugs from Ubuntu,
 please verify the bug applies to the current Debian version and report
 it against this version (the Debian BTS has version tracking).

   Thanks!

Hello,

please find attached a patch which makes pbuilder work (for me ;) from source
directories with spaces in their names.
