Well, they talked about the state of non-US for powerpc, so it was
relevant.

You need openssl (more specifically the libssl-dev package), I

The Build-Depends: for postgresql include libssl-dev, so that's the
one you want.

I'd use "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc", as it runs "debian/rules clean"
first for you, too (and not doing this is probably why multiple
invocations of debian/rules binary behave differently)

anything about it.

Such is life with Debian unstable, or even testing.
