you're right. I just reported that, cause I merged an old change to ikiwiki 
in Ubuntu, and the clean debian package didn't build correctly.
( now I learned to do not blindly trust other maintainers ;) )

In fact rebuilding the original ikiwiki package (log attached) gives 
nothing related to validations.
Though, it screams against a missing locale/gettext.pm inside tests... but 
that's probably another thing I'd wish to investigate, before send you 
another bug report :P
