I think you hit the following issue:
ftbfs_build_depends_not_available_on_amd64:
description: |
Package build depends on some package(s), which are not available on amd64.
Relevant URLs:
- https://wiki.debian.org/Build-Depends-Indep
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/217427
If I understand this particular issue, I think it's the same highlighted
and solved in ubuntu in that bug, with the addition of
Build-Indep-Architecture.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
