I've started a page on the wiki and attached the working .pbuilderrc config
from my amd64 hudson server (which has been spitting up successful 1.7.2 builds
here: http://mixxx.org/packages/autobuilds/ubuntu-amd64-1.7.x/?C=M;O=D )
The instructions are from some snippets I have around, from the hudson server
and from memory.... so they may not work as written exactly, but there are any
problems just attach an error message and shoot it on to the list.
You can find the page at:

Cheers,
