 I had the same problem than you, and ended up using this shell snippet
 in my pbuilderrc:

# archived chroot image location
if [ "$PDEBUILD_PBUILDER" = "pbuilder" ]; then
    BASETGZDIR="$PBUILDERROOT/basetgz/$DISTRIBUTION"
    create_dir "$BASETGZDIR"
    BASETGZ="$BASETGZDIR/base.tgz"
fi

 /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/pbuilder-distribution.sh is another
 solution.

 Do you agree this feature can be handled by end-user configuration?
 Should be keep the bug open?

   Bye,
