If you haven’t do so yet, I would recommend you try building it twice locally:

$ sudo pbuilder build --twice <package>.dsc

This catches problems where the source isn’t appropriately cleaned (reset to 
the upstream state) after the first build.  Based on the link you provided, it 
looks like that might be the problems as it appears that some of the 
documentation that is autogenerated into PDF and HTML is missing a section.

If that doesn’t get to the root of the problem, I would recommend you place 
your repository on Salsa and enable the Salsa CI tests.

https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline

The reprotest exercises similar tasks as the reproducible builds.  
Specifically, it builds once and the modifies the following things for a 
second build to see if there are any differences:
