The error in the build output [1] implies that GPICK_BUILD_DATE is
expected, but not found, among the environment variables. You probably
have it set in your local environment, but it's not being set
automatically and thus it's not being set in the CI pipeline.

I'm not so sure that the status in buildd should be interpreted as
proof of a successful (automated) build. The QA page states that it
was "Not built on buildd" [2] because you uploaded it pre-built.

I find sbuild [3] to be very helpful. It'll probably produce the same
error for you locally.
