[intrepid] pbuilder builds a package twice by default

Bug Description

Binary package hint: pbuilder

The new option --twice should get renamed to --once :)

pbuilder 0.181ubuntu4 got a new option to build a package twice in a row. Unfortunately there is a bug in processing this option which makes pbuilder build a package twice when --twice is not set.

From /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-buildpackage:

if [ -z "$TWICE" ]; then
        DPKG_COMMANDLINE="$DPKG_COMMANDLINE; dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc $DEBBUILDOPTS"
fi

The test should happen with -n (nonzero) instead of -z (zero).
