Hmmm... obviously this didn't happen for me - but nor did I use
dpkg-buildpackage: instead I ran "debian/rules build" then "debian/rules
binary".  BTW, there's no need to be root at this stage - use fakeroot
instead.

The obvious thing to check is that you have all the packages specified for
(IIRC) build-depends in the debian/control - something mising there could
provoke a bizzare error like this.

Well, it *is* equally possible that I've missed something simple ;-)

Please check/confirm the above points, and if it still doesn't work for
you I'll take a closer look here.

Thanks for the report,
Neale.
