I guess this is because libc6-dev has finally dropped its compatibility dependency on libcrypt-dev, which now has to be added to build-depends when appropriate. This was already reported here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1106908 but for some reason the fix did not work, or maybe it was not applied. Trivial (but untested) patch attached. Thanks.
