Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pbuilder

When using pbuilder with cowbuilder, it's necessary for cowdancer to be
downloaded during the step:

sudo cowbuilder --create

Because cowdancer is in universe, this means adding an extra component
to your /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc file. The manpage pbuilderrc(5) states:

       COMPONENTS=main
              Specify  the  default  distribution  components  to use.  This 
option is space-delimited.  This
              option only affects when doing pbuilder create  or  when  
--override-config  is  specified  for
              pbuilder update option.

However, using the line:

       COMPONENTS=main universe

will fail with a message that the universe command cannot be found -
because this value is space-delimited, it is interpreted as two separate
commands. The man page should be changed to show the value in quotes:

       COMPONENTS="main"
