As Chris West wrote in bug #791731, this appears similar to bug #791407.
I believe the cause of this is the following change in fpc:

fpc (2.6.4+dfsg-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  ...
  * Move -dev packages from Depends to Recommends in our unit packages

To fix, you will need to add the build-dependencies for the -dev
packages which cqrlog links against.  You can see how bug #791407 was
fixed in transgui here [1].

Don't worry about the missing debuggerintf.lpk reported by Mattia
Rizzolo, that has already been fixed in bug #792437.
