Hello Santiago,

I have tried in vain to reproduce this either in a local chroot or on 
barriere.debian.org with up to date sid.

I tried this:
ametzler at barriere:~$ schroot --begin-session -c sid -n ametzler ; printf \\a ; dd-schroot-cmd -c ametzler apt-get update && dd-schroot-cmd -c ametzler apt-get -y dist-upgrade ; dd-schroot-cmd  -c ametzler apt-get -y install build-essential debhelper
schroot --run-session -c ametzler
# fetch sourcecode then run
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck dpkg-checkbuilddeps
# and install the missing packages
ametzler at barriere:~$ dd-schroot-cmd  -c ametzler apt-get -y install pkgconf texinfo mingw-w64

Then try to build with the command in your buildlog:
dpkg-buildpackage --sanitize-env -Pnocheck -us -uc -b
