Bug#472407: gdebi pbuilder bdep resolution fix

[Loïc Minier]

        Hi

 I revisited this; $DEBIAN_CONTROL is either the .dsc or the control
 file; I copied it into the chroot with the attached patch.

 I think we want to prefer the gdebi outside of the chroot instead of
 installing one in the chroot, but I'm not sure whether we want to
 support both cases, will check with other pbuilder maints.

   Thanks
