This gives

As the messages let expect, debuild -b and debclean still complain.

No. The only "Setting up" about any "libacl" was about libacl1:

  Unpacking libacl1:amd64 (2.2.52-3) over (2.2.52-2) ...
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.21-7) ...

Well, now that i know what to look for, it ended suspiciously by

  Preparing to unpack .../python-minimal_2.7.11-2_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking python-minimal (2.7.11-2) over (2.7.11-1) ...

  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

apt-get -dist-upgrade reported about libc6-dev:

  Get:29 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 libc6-dev amd64 2.22-13 [2,157 kB]

  Preparing to unpack .../libc6-dev_2.22-13_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libc6-dev:amd64 (2.22-13) over (2.21-7) ...

The subsequent try with apt-get install libacl6-dev reported 

  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.22) but 2.21-7 is to be installed
   libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.22-13) but 2.21-7 is to be installed

The other packages with unmet dependencies are libosinfo-1.0-0, libpulsedsp,
pulseaudio-module-x11, pulseaudio-utils, python, samba-libs.


Have a nice day :)
