This is a bug in dpkg-source (said to be fixed soon), that causes a
minor issue to be a hard failure.

The package does not have the changes to doc/Makefile.in and
doc/examples/Makefile.in in a patch with proper description.

You should either add an explicit patch for those changes, or
run autoreconf to generate them at build time and clean all
thus modified files at clean time.
