Argh, thanks for pointing that out!!
I was assuming that sysvinit was indeed a virtual package in Ubuntu per
the original bug report, but it's not!
"apt-get install sysvinit" indeed suggests upstart and sysvinit-utils;
that's because each of them Replaces: sysvinit, but sysvinit-utils
Provides: sysvutils, not sysvinit! (and upstart has unrelated
Provides)
I checked and there is no sysvinit Provides in Ubuntu; simply an
out-of-date essential.list in build-essential... (it's not generated at
build time)
Once I fixed /usr/share/doc/build-essential/essential-packages-list not
to list sysvinit in the chroot, I could build packages just fine.
I've uploaded a fixed build-essential package to Ubuntu.

Ah, I didn't know about this config either; thanks for pointing it out!
With the /usr/share/doc/build-essential/essential-packages-list fix,
"$resolve_virtual = 1;" didn't affect the build (it would still build
with virtuals enabled).
With the /usr/share/doc/build-essential/essential-packages-list fix, I
tried your sbuild-vpkg.patch again; packages still build fine both with
"$resolve_virtual = 1;" and without.
Without the /usr/share/doc/build-essential/essential-packages-list fix,
I found that the output was a bit more cryptic with your patch, since I
got:

The error message is more confusing than the original one since the
mention of ESSENTIAL as a separate step was bit more explicit; I
suspect the change is not related to your patch though, but rather to
other sbuild updates.
I'm not familiar with sbuild, but from reading sbuild-vpkg.patch it
seemed entirely appropriate, but since I can't confirm it fixes
anything, I don't know whether you want to include it or not.
It seems this bug can be closed since it's a problem in Ubuntu's
build-essential, I'm leaving it open in case you'd like to merge
sbuild-vpkg.patch.
Thanks!
