I think it is an FTBFS bug. The following should generally work:

apt-get source qmail
cd qmail-*
dpkg-buildpackage

For qmail, this does not work because of the missing Build-Depends on 
groff-base and because of the missing users/groups. 
Those are needed to create 'qmail-src'. It should be possible to 
build the 'qmail-src' package. 

It is generally a RC bug if a package cannot be built by dpkg-buildpackage.

Regards
Andreas Jochens
