SRU Justification:

Impact: Passing multiple debbuildopts through pbuilder/pdebuild results in the dpkg-source and other devscripts either failing or not using the specified options (especially problematic when wanting to prevent VCS files being included (-i -I).

testcase: Using a source package that has VCS directories (i.e. ./.git/ ) and "pbuilder ... --debbuildopts -i -I" or "pbuilder ... --debbootopts -i --debbuildopts -I" results in an error in the first case, or a tar.gz file that includes the VCS files in the latter.

The fix enables all debbuildopts to be set and the package sources created correctly.
