Just a small note here, which I'm not sure you know already, in any
case, while this was a bug in the upstream build system, if you are
trying to build Debian packages you should install the Build-Depends
(and Build-Depends-Indep in case you build architecture independent
packages). You can use “apt-get build-dep $source_package” for
packages from the archive or use dpkg-checkbuilddeps for package or
releases not yet uploaded to check what build dependencies are still
missing. If you are trying to just build as a normal upstream project
then this would not apply.
