Isn't it just rebuilding the exact same Debian package? Is that even
something that someone would want to do?

AFAICT, using src-pkg with pbuilder only makes sense if you have a
source repository containing the source package but you do _not_ have
any binary repository containing the binary package. I expect that this
is the use case that should be tested.

Or am I missing the point about why the src-pkg option of pbuilder
exists?
