xball fails to build from source because the makefile's "distclean" target
ends up creating files (in this case, the .deps directory). Here's the
problem rule from Makefile.am:
DEPS_MAGIC := $(shell mkdir .deps > /dev/null 2>&1 || :)
This causes the directory to be created everytime the makefile is
evaluated, no matter what target. deps files are entirely useless in
uploaded packages, only adding to the buildd's overhead. You need to
at least cause the distclean target to remove this directory. The
command that is failing to build, run as a regular user with sudo
permissions, is:
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -B -rsudo
