Can you be more specific? There are only two build-dependencies which could
be problematic:
One is the versioned dependency on docbook-utils, but that is only needed
for building the arch: all packages. Do a -B (arch-dep only) build.
The other is the versioned dependency on debhelper, which was added because
of #204731. That caused the man page installation to fail. There is a
simple patch in the BTS which could probably be applied to the stable
version.
