OK, the first two look like bugs that will be easier to understand with
a diff (maybe a build-dep that was broken was fixed in the meantime?).
For the third one, I'm a bit more puzzled.

Note that I auto-retry builds before filing, so when I file a bug, it
means that the build failed twice in a row. This does not exclude chroot
configuration issues, or environment issues, but at least excludes all
random/cosmic rays problems.
