Hi Iain and Andreas,

Sorry for the long silence.

Hi Ubiratan,

as an extension to Iain's answer I like to add some points.

Thanks for those. I have thought I was progressing but was in fact getting
lost.
 

To some extend the mistake is even that you are trying to build on a
stable machine.  The final package goes to unstable and it *has* *to*
build with the original libqextserialport-dev package from unstable.
Everything else will be broken.  If you in addition want to provide a
backport to stable that's something else and should be dealt with in a
separate step.  As said previously building a package in unstable is
usually done with pbuilder (or rather the flavour of cowbuilder).  Could
you please confirm that you have setup a cowbuilder chroot using

   sudo cowbuilder --create
 

?  This is in so far essential since we need to be sure that we are
talking about the same thing and not about some local modifications at
your side which we can not reproduce.

I went back and setup the cowbuilder chroot as above.  I also recreated
a local git repository following as best as possible the instructions in
Debian Med team policy. I wrote a local gpb.conf so that git-buildpackage
uses pdebuild and cowbuilder tried to build sleepyhead using
git-buildpackage. I got the same error (but in English this time :) ).
 

Before filing a bug report please

  1. Commit your work to a Vcs of your choice (either Git or SVN)
     as described in Debian Med team policy

I think I now have a repository that I can commit to git.debian.org. I just
requested membership to debian med on alioth, which I haven't done
before. 

Thanks again for the help.

Best wishes,

Ubiratan.
