FWIW I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 "hardy heron" (current stable) and I got
my mutt by using dget(1) to pull the Intrepid (current devel) .dsc,
orig.tar.gz, and diff.gz from here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutt
and then using pbuilder(8) to build the package for hardy. I end up
with three packages to install:
/var/cache/pbuilder/result$ ls -1|grep mutt.*ubuntu.*deb
mutt_1.5.18-4ubuntu1_i386.deb
mutt-dbg_1.5.18-4ubuntu1_i386.deb
mutt-patched_1.5.18-4ubuntu1_i386.deb
I don't see the problems you describe and I get the following:
~$ mutt -v
Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17)

pbuilder is really a fantastic tool. If you like Debian/Ubuntu and
plan to continue using it/them seriously, I highly recommend you take
a little time to familiarize yourself with pbuilder. Here's a good
intro:
