I have moved codes around following guide by most of Loïc Minier's
comments.  
 
Since it looks cleaner to start from master, new branch d-p is created.

 * I do not initialize environment variables.
 * I stopped preloading of distribution. (Preloading of profile is
   needed so we get decent default paths which can be overridden by 
   /etc/pbuilderrc etc.)

I have changed manpage of pbuilder around distribution since some
description on limitation seemed unsubstantiated with current script.
(This is somewhat worrying part...)

Let me show how it is working...

This one pass all test suite and recent local changes are only
documentation and it is working fine for normal operations even for
Ubuntu.

$ sudo pbuilder --create -p ubu -d jaunty
...
I: creating base tarball [/var/cache/pbuilder/ubu/base.tgz]
I: cleaning the build env 
I: removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/ubu/build/23015 and its subdirectories

Working! This is enough to be quite useful for many people.  If people
are on armel, use --mirror option to override default choice of archive
URL. 

How about stable-proposed-updates :-)

Nice. Now pbuilder is quite easy to set up lenny-proposed-updates.

(Please not there is no more // in path like /var/cache/pbuilder//base.tgz)

Of course:

$ sudo pbuilder --create -p lbp -d lenny-backports

This starts OK.  But it only fails due to W: GPG error:
http://backports.org lenny-backports Release: The following signatures
couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY
EA8E8B2116BA136C

This is expected.  GPG is next step.  (I think even with code in current
state, by using --aptconfdir to load GPG keys, we should be able to
use this ...)

PS: -p is short for --profile, -d is short for --distribution
