this is because autopkgtest is run *outside* the chroot and unless sbuild was
instructed to recreated the source package, the system outside will never see
the .dsc.

I suggest to fix this by automatically skipping the autopkgtest in cases where
sbuild downloads the source package itself to resolve this bug.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
