I wonder whether it's necessary at all to perform the source build in a virtual machine running the same series that will be used for the binary build. Wouldn't it be possible to always use Maverick (or the development version of Ubuntu in general) for building the source package? This would ensures access to the latest version of bzr-builder, while the binary build will be performed using the appropriate Ubuntu series.

bzr-builder provides a --distribution parameter that can be used to set the series entry in debian/changelog to the appropriate value.
