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. -- - mdz
