Greetings, Peter, thanks for the bug report. I have some comments:

The full build log [0] shows that the debian/rules build target was
called on the package:
debian/rules build
Because that debian/rules build target was called, the autobuilder
should have downloaded and installed the Build-Depends-Indep dependencies:
Build-Depends-Indep: texlive-latex-extra, texlive-latex-recommended,
texlive-fonts-recommended
Instead, it chose not to do so:
Download complete and in download only mode
** Using build dependencies supplied by package:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), libqt4-dev (>= 4.4.3), cmake (>= 2.6.0)
Build-Depends-Indep: texlive-latex-extra, texlive-latex-recommended,
texlive-fonts-recommended
Checking for already installed source dependencies...
debhelper: already installed (7.2.8 >= 7 is satisfied)
libqt4-dev: missing
cmake: missing
Checking for source dependency conflicts...
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/apt-get --purge $CHROOT_OPTIONS -q -y install
libqt4-dev cmake
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
The following extra packages will be installed:
cmake-data defoma emacsen-common fontconfig fontconfig-config gsfonts libaa1
libasound2 libasyncns0 libatk1.0-0 libaudio2 libavc1394-0 libavcodec52
... [ many lines removed not containing texlive-.* ]
phonon-backend-xine qt4-qmake shared-mime-info tsconf ttf-dejavu
ttf-dejavu-core ttf-dejavu-extra ucf whiptail x11-common
Thus, when the debian/rules build target was called, it did:
.PHONY: build
build: build-indep-stamp build-arch-stamp
beginning with
8<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ debian/rules ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
build-indep-stamp:
dh_testdir
dh_prep -i
rm -rf $(INSTALL_INDEP_DIR)
mkdir -p $(BUILD_INDEP_DIR)
# The following is for building of the user manual
cd $(BUILD_INDEP_DIR) && $(CMAKE) -D BUILD_PROGRAM=0 -D BUILD_DATA=1 \
-D BUILD_USERMANUAL=1 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../..
cd $(CURDIR)/usermanual && $(MAKE) -f Makefile all_no_reload
touch build-indep-stamp
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ debian/rules ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>8
However, pdflatex, which is needed by build-indep-stamp is not
installed because pbuilder did not install
Build-Depends-Indep: texlive-latex-extra, texlive-latex-recommended,
texlive-fonts-recommended
Please, note that Policy requires that if 'build' is called as a
debian/rules target, the Build-Depends-Indep dependencies have to be
installed (arrows mine):
7.7 Relationships between source and binary packages - Build-Depends,
Build-Depends-Indep, Build-Conflicts, Build-Conflicts-Indep
The dependencies and conflicts they define must be satisfied (as
defined earlier for binary packages) in order to invoke the targets in
debian/rules, as follows:[46]
[...]
Build-Depends-Indep, Build-Conflicts-Indep
The Build-Depends-Indep and Build-Conflicts-Indep fields must be
satisfied when any of the following targets is invoked: build,
build-indep, binary and binary-indep. ^^^^^
[46] says:
If you make "build-arch" or "binary-arch", you need Build-Depends. If
you make "build-indep" or "binary-indep", you need Build-Depends and
Build-Depends-Indep. If you make "build" or "binary", you need both.
^^^^^
I hope this pbuilder problem can be fixed so that package maintainers
who make efforts to build well-separated arch/indep packages using
well crafted debian/rules targets do not make these efforts for no
reason.
Cheers,
Filippo
