This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.140

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.140) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Stefano Rivera ]
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3, no changes needed.
  * Update machine-readable copyright Format to 1.0.
  * pbuilder-dist: Use the same chroot, whether the system-architecture was
    the supplied architecture or was chosen by default (LP: #943435)
  * backportpackage
    - Prompt to delete existing workdirs (LP: #885514)
    - Support a BACKPORTPACKAGE_UPLOAD configuration/enviornment variable
      (LP: #693217)
  * requestsync:
    - New packages from non-free or contrib go into multiverse (LP: #935643)
    - Catch SeriesNotFoundException and display a friendly error (LP: #963888)

  [ Daniel Hahler ]
  * ubuntutools/archive.py: use ProxyHandler in _download_file.
    This makes use of the system proxy (e.g. http_proxy).
  * pbuilder-dist: Do not force default value for `--aptcache` argument
    (LP: #956903)

  [ John S Gruber ]
  * Don't use --override-config with operations other than update.
    (LP: #409696)
