piuparts bug when running sbuild

Dheeraj Reddy requested to merge dheerajre/rsync:piuparts-bug into debian/master

When running sbuild with piuparts config:

$run_piuparts = 1; 
$piuparts_opts = ['--no-eatmydata', '--distribution=%r', '--fake-essential-packages=systemd-sysv'];

piuparts fails to run with error log:

E: Piuparts run failed.

I already talked to @samueloph about this and also reported it as a bug against piuparts but I thought it was worth mentioning here too.
