Tosfos in Gittin explains that this is exactly what it means that Hillel
relied on the fact that shmitta bizman hazeh is derabbanan.  Not that
the haarama of pruzbul wouldn't have worked when shmita was deoraita,
but that had it been deoraita he would never have endorsed this haarama
to get around it.  But in his days, as in ours, it was derabbanan, and
yet no reputable BD would have anything to do with this haarama until
Hillel saw the necessity, and decided that the Rabbanan would never have
wanted their takana to lead to such results, so he endorsed the pruzbul.
==============================================

So what is the underlying "message/purpose" of shmitat kesafim? Should
one who can afford it not make use of pruzbol?
