sounds good. Please document the needed steps so we can start to
reproduce the rebuild later.
I wont have time for trying out this part in the near future.

This is related by you are trying to build natively on a Jessie system
without installed dependencies. I believe you can't solve all
dependencies on a Jessie system.
So the solution is to use a chroot. Please take a look on the wiki site
about git-pbuilder to setup a chroot.

https://wiki.debian.org/git-pbuilder

After that you need to add --git-pbuilder to the command

  $ gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-ignore-new -j4

The --git-ignore-new is only needed if have made some changes to the
debian/ folder.
