Those are just the last lines and aren't interesting, but given your
issue, we should be able to help anyway.

You probably want to look at two things:
- passing USE_UDEBS_FROM=jessie on the make line might help.
- getting rid of the sources.list.udeb that was first generated would
make sure your new settings are taken into account (distribution and
mirrors, notably).
Also, we generally advise building an installer for a given distribution
in a chroot with the same distribution.

Let's see whether what I mentioned helps. ;)
