This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.25

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.25) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Michael Bienia ]
  * requestsync:
    + Add work-around for a bug in Debian's madison.php not returning only the
      'source' line (LP: #183346).
    + Add support to file sync requests with python-launchpad-bugs (--lp)
      (LP: #147994).
    + Add line editing during input.
  * doc/requestsync.1:
    + Document new requestsync options.

  [ Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals (RainCT) ]
  * what-patch:
     - Print a list of files that have been modified outside debian/.
     - Add -h and -q options.
     - Add proper exit values.
  * debian/control:
     - Bump standards version to 3.7.3.
     - Move python-central to Build-Depends-Indep.
     - Rename XS-Vcs-{Bzr,Browser} fields to Vcs-{Bzr,Browser}.
     - Bump minimum cdbs version to 0.4.49.
  * Add Albert Damen to the Authors and Copyright Holders.
  * Change my email address (to @ubuntu.com) everywhere.
  * Add reverse-build-depends script and a manpage for it.
  * Add requestsync and reverse-build-depends and massfile to
    debian/copyright.
  * Update README (add information for many missing scripts).
  * Add the text "ubuntu-dev-tools" to the footer of all manpages.
  * Remove duplicated ubuntu-dev-tools recommends (it's already a
    dependency).

  [ Stephan Hermann ]
  * mk-sbuild-lv: check for debootstrap release names in
    /usr/share/debootstreap/releases and not in /usr/lib/debootstrap/releases
  * pbuilder-dist:
    - check if $SYSCACHE is not set and stay with the default, if
      SYSCACHE = 0 use the default from pbuilderrc or honor $DEBCACHE
      (LP: #156183)
    - removed $BINARCH check in pbuilder call, and set --debootstrapopts
      directly, it doesn't matter when it's always set. The Subshell call
      didn't work (LP: #175183)
    - added support for --http-proxy, honours now $http_proxy or $HTTP_PROXY
    - removed $COMPONENTS_LINE from pbuilder call, data is crippled in the
      pbuilder chroot.
      Instead of this behaviour add $BASE_DIR/etc/$DISTRIBUTION/apt.conf/
      directory and install a sane sources.list, depending on the releases of Ubuntu
      and add --aptconfdir to pbuilder call (LP: #175183)
    - add support for gksudo|kdesudo|sudo depending on $DESKTOP_SESSION.
      or if $PBUILDAUTH is set to something else, it will be used instead of
      sudo|gksudo|kdesudo (LP: #172943)
  * pbuilder-dist.bash_completion: (LP: #175728)
    - added bash_completion instructions
  * debian/rules:
    - install pbuilder-dist.bash_completion to /etc/bash_completion.d/

  [ Daniel Holbach ]
  * hugdaylist: drop one Ubuntu filter statement.

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * what-patch: change default operation back to quiet mode -- script is used
    in automated tools, so default behavior is best to leave unchanged.
  * check-symbols: check for binary list very carefully.
  * dch-repeat: add Hardy to distro list.
  * mk-sbuild-lv: use -r instead of -f for possible debootstrap symlinks.
