That's a change in dpkg-buildpackage:

From https://tracker.debian.org/news/685447 :

dpkg (1.18.0) unstable; urgency=low
[..]
  * Make dependency checks fatal for dpkg-buildpackage -S.


So you have to pass "-d" (for making the checks non-fatal, i.e.
warnings, again, as they were before), or -nc (don't run clean) to
dpkg-buildpackage; directly or via --debbuildopts in the case of
pdebuild.

(Note that -nc seems to break pbuilder's "build twice" feature.)


Cheers,
gregor
