Ok I fixed those apt errors and got as far as initially running sbuild 
but then I encountered some issues with dh_auto_clean


 dpkg-source --before-build .
dpkg-buildpackage: info: host architecture amd64
 debian/rules clean
dh clean
   dh_auto_clean --buildsystem=rust
dh_auto_clean: error: Failed to resolve crate 
"tree-sitter-verilog-0.24.0" in cargo metadata for virtual library 
package "librust-tree-sitter-verilog-dev".
make: *** [debian/rules:9: clean] Error 25
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules clean subprocess returned exit 
status 2

Any advice on this? You can check my work on salsa [1]
