It shouldn't be using it. sbuild-createchroot can't use schroot to
finish final setup of the chroot (run apt-get update,dist-upgrade,
create build directory and other bits.) because it might not be
installed, or the chroot name may clash. So we use chroot(8)
instead via the Sbuild::ChrootPlain module. This only uses sudo
when not root (required for running chroot(8)), but since debootstrap
requires root and hence we are already root this should never occur.
I'll double check the logic in Sbuild::ChrootPlain; I had sudo installed
during testing, so it's possible I missed something. Looking at it, I
think
push(@cmdline, $self->get_conf('SUDO'))
if ($need_chroot || $need_su);
should be
push(@cmdline, $self->get_conf('SUDO'))
if (($need_chroot || $need_su) && $user ne 'root');

thanks
Please could you try the attached patch and let me know if it fixes the
problem for you?
I've tried it on my system, with no sudo privs, but since sudo is
still installed and it's run as root this isn't a totally fair test
(I can't remove sudo at the moment since I need it).
Thanks,
Jakub Wilk
