Title:
  pbuilderrc manpage doesn't mention that quotes are needed around
  multiple components

Status in PBuilder:
  Fix Released
Status in pbuilder package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pbuilder

  When using pbuilder with cowbuilder, it's necessary for cowdancer to
  be downloaded during the step:

  sudo cowbuilder --create

  Because cowdancer is in universe, this means adding an extra component
  to your /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc file. The manpage pbuilderrc(5)
  states:

         COMPONENTS=main
                Specify  the  default  distribution  components  to use.  This option is space-delimited.  This
                option only affects when doing pbuilder create  or  when  --override-config  is  specified  for
                pbuilder update option.

  However, using the line:

         COMPONENTS=main universe

  will fail with a message that the universe command cannot be found -
  because this value is space-delimited, it is interpreted as two
  separate commands. The man page should be changed to show the value in
  quotes:

         COMPONENTS="main"
