As Niels explained last year this is the expected behavior.
If you're rebuilding a package from Debian while targeting a Ubuntu release you
can as well change the target Distribution (and you're suppose to if you're
going to upload to Ubuntu, indeed the lintian message is totally right).

I just tried building the libcurlpp-dev on xenial, and debuild failed
