dh-linktree uses the version of the package on the build system to inject a (usually strong) dependency in ${misc:Depends}. If you built the package on a system that was not up-to-date, it's to be expected that the generated dependency might no longer be suitable for sid. dh-linktree generates strong dependencies on purpose because the set of embedded files can evolve and you want to be sure that you regenerate the binary package when the upstream version of your dependency changes. I should probably say a word about this in the dh_linktree manual page.
