That's simply a bug in dpkg-buildpackage's scripts which is unrelated.
dpkg 1.4.1.2 has fixed it incidentally.
The problem was that getlogin() was being called by every script to
determine who is on the console. A few scripts dup stdin and exec
something else (dpkg-parsechanelog is one). stdin is not a tty then.
The solution was to put that getlogin code in a function and only call
it when needed.
