According to the hurd-i386 log at
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=tsocks&arch=hurd-i386&ver=1.8beta5-9.3&stamp=1456586414 :

 Built-Using: libc6 (= )

The changelog says:

   * Document with Built-Using that tsocks ships the saveme binary,
     that is statically linked against libc6 (Closes: #769343).

so I assume the patch is failing to take account of libc having
different names across architectures. Indeed:

EXTRA_PACKAGES="libc6"
echo -n "extra:Built-Using=" >> debian/tsocks.substvars
for package in $EXTRA_PACKAGES; do
  dpkg-query -f '${source:Package} (= ${source:Version}), ' -W $package 2>/dev/null
done >> debian/tsocks.substvars

CC-ing the NMUer, as this will need fixing in the package.
