Note that dpkg-buildpackage does not currently check build-depends.

Reading the documentation would be a good next step. What is DH_COMPAT set to
in your build environment? From dh_installdeb(1):
If DH_COMPAT is set to 3 or higher, all files in the etc/
directory in a package will automatically be flagged as
conffiles by this program, so there is no need to list
them manually in package.conffiles.
Note that setting DH_COMPAT has other effects as well, so make sure you read
the man pages for the other debhelper commands that are used in your rules
file.
