libc6-amd64 is a i386 package providing an 64bit libc. For some reason
the ${shlibs:Depends} picks this as a dependency instead of the native
libc6 package.

This seems to be a bug (or missing mutliarch feature) in dpkg: it
probably should not use *.shlibs files from packages that do not match
the target architecture.

As a workaround, you could try removing libc6-amd64 when building the
package.
