The problem is here:

That's a bug with the version of pbuilder in ubuntu:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627086
I worked around this by installing the pbuilder from debian
unstable on my ubuntu box.
Incidentally, what you're doing is building the debian version
of the package rather than the ubuntu versions - you'll have
to fix up pbuilderrc.in
and maybe the invocation of pdebuild too to build packages for
ubuntu.
Thanks much appreciated though i got a message on IRC that
1) I need to use 32 bit, as blktap wount build on 64bit as of
yet, so...
Im looking into seeing If blktap is already supported by my
Ubuntu xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64 and 3.x kernel which would i
think would
negate its requirement i would think, or hope...
I think that there might be some confusion about what blktap is.
blktap is different from blkfront and blkback -- those paravirtual
block device drivers that make IO possible on Xen PV domains. blktap
(http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/blktap) is a combination kernel
module and userspace tool that replaces the loopback driver for
file-based virtual machine images. This gives much better
performance than using the loopback driver to mount these images.
blktap is not included in the mainline Linux kernel, and it is also
not included in the Ubuntu Xen kernel. You don't need blktap to run
Xen, but you do need it to run Xapi (at least, you need it if you
want Xapi to start VMs for you). So, there is still a very real
requirement for blktap if you want XenAPI on Debian, and no one I
know has successfully compiled and run blktap on 64-bit.
I believe that Daniel Stodden is working on getting blktap to
compile on 64-bit, but actually testing it and supporting it on
64-bit with the rest of XenAPI aren't on the top of our priority
list right now.
Hope this clears up the confusion!
